Hello Dinesh,
Study by distance learning is recommended for those courses that have less amount of practicals. Since a student is supposed to learn at his convenience in his home. But painting, I feel requires lot of hand holding and practicals and hence not possible by distance learning. You can seek private tuition if you are interested in learning the art-form.

You can refer to books like:-
1. Color- A Workshop for artists and designers by David Harnung.
2. All about techniques in Dry Media Parramons Editorial Team.
3. Commercial Art Techniques by Raviraj.
4. Pencil Shading Basic Techniques by Raviraj.
