The talent of budding painters was in the limelight as the Srusti Art Academy held a special summer camp at the H. C. M. Girls High School to hone their skills.

More than 100 students breathed life into paintings under the watchful eyes of noted painter Thimmari Ravindra, who has produced many record holders in the city.

“The main aim of the camp is to kindle interest among members of GenX in painting and encourage them to create records of sorts in spray painting, thump painting, collage painting, knife painting,” said Mr. Ravindra, who hails from a family of artists and graphic and animation designers in a conversation with The Hindu.

“Some of my students have proved their worth at the State and national level,” he added.

He added that he generally encouraged his students to think out of the box to create attractive images with, among other things, waste paper, dry leaves, cones and by putting dots in a pattern.
