Hi, I’m Payal, also known as The Simply Aesthetic on Instagram.

My painting journey began in 2017 while I was still pursuing my engineering degree. During a difficult phase in my life, I randomly picked up my art supplies again, and painting quickly became a space where I felt safe and comforted. But it wasn’t easy — I had never taken any formal art classes, so everything I learned came through trial, mistakes, and a lot of patience.

In 2018, I started sharing my work on Instagram and began exploring different mediums, slowly understanding what art meant to me. After graduating, I worked in a corporate job for about two and a half years, and I would paint after coming home from work every day. It wasn’t always convenient, but those quiet hours of painting were always the most fulfilling part of my day.

In 2021, I began teaching on Skillshare, and somewhere along the way, I realised this is what I truly wanted to do. I eventually chose to pursue art full time, trusting a feeling I had deep down for years. Becoming a Skillshare Top Teacher has been incredibly special to me, especially because when I first started, I never imagined I would reach this point.

Nature is my biggest source of inspiration. I love painting landscapes because they allow me to slow down and notice the beauty in ordinary moments like the changing light, distant mountains, quiet skies. Through my classes, I strive to pass on that same appreciation and help students feel less intimidated and more connected to the creative process.

And just like my students, I’m still learning every day. I enjoy sharing whatever I discover along my own practice, not as rules, but as guidance that makes art feel simpler and more approachable.
