India has shaped my creative life in profound ways — with its colour, generosity, stories, and the poetry of everyday life. This journey invites you to see India not as a hurried visitor, but as someone who pauses long enough to notice. To feel. To create.
Across 14 days, we’ll stay in heritage hotels, wander ancient streets, paint and sketch in courtyards and village lanes, meet artisans, learn local stories, and experience India in its most authentic form.
Non-artists are warmly welcome.
