Meet Your Mentor

Hi! I am Vaibhav Tyagi, also known as Villustrate, a watercolor artist and commercial illustrator known for my realistic watercolor floral/botanical illustrations.

I graduated in fine arts, and after working with a few creative agencies as a visualizer and graphic designer for several years, I found my calling to pursue traditional painting and illustration a few years ago. I knew there was no turning back.

Fascinated with floral and botanical painting for as long as I can remember. I was fortunate enough to turn my fascination into my passion and profession, and now I will teach you all my techniques and secrets!

What my students are saying

Mohd Shaharin

"I recently joined Villustrate's course, and it was a truly enlightening experience. After a long time away from painting, his guidance made the process simple and enjoyable. The steps were clear and easy to follow, which helped me regain my confidence. Most importantly, the results were exactly what I hoped for—realistic botanical flowers that I’m proud of. I highly recommend Villustrate course to anyone looking to enhance their watercolor skills!"

Diane Kallal

"I’m relatively new to art. Never practiced or studying drawing, painting, or the like. I started dabbling in watercolours (with a bit of a nudge from friends) and had very little idea of what brush strokes to use, how to layer colours, where to even start a painting!

Villustrate course is so helpful. His way of teaching is calm and encouraging, I’m becoming far more confident and enjoying my practice so much more."

Dr.Taru Jain

"You are a magician of a teacher and I am truly thankful to have found your course. Your course changed it for me. FOR REAL. Your course taught me to do a lot of things I wasn’t doing during my planning of the illustration and taught me how to look at each subject to understand it clearly. How to choose, where to look at for inspiration, how to adapt it, how to make it your own. all of it. Along with all of these, the game changer for me was the interpretation of shadows and the colors to use for warm and cool mixes in the many layers that we do. Thank you so much. I am a forever fan <3 Thank you for deciding to teach."
