Join a small group art tour to Rajasthan, India—designed for artists, sketchbook lovers, and creative souls.
On this art retreat in India, you'll be immersed in vibrant colour, history, and daily life as we explore, sketch, and paint our way through the beating heart of Rajasthan.
This India art tour invites you to slow down and truly see, to fill your sketchbook with the magic of everyday moments: from pink palaces and blue-washed lanes to ancient forts, textile workshops, and vibrant, street life.
This isn’t just a painting holiday—it’s a creative journey through India’s artistic heritage, seen through your own eyes and brush.
As we fill our mixed media sketchbooks, we’ll not only capture the landscape but encounter the warmth and kindness of the people we meet. India celebrates creativity in all its forms—through crafts, music, spiritual rituals, and the rich, vibrant food that tells its own story. This is more than an art retreat, it is about losing yourself in the timeless beauty of everyday life in this fascinating country.

Udaipur – The City of Lakes
Our journey begins in Udaipur, one of the most picturesque cities in India. Anchored by Lake Pichola and surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, Udaipur offers perfect inspiration for plein air sketching and painting.

Bundi – Rajasthan’s Hidden Gem
Next, we visit Bundi— A favourite place of mine, the forgotten gem of Rajasthan, always calls me back. Here, in this 14th-century city, time stands still, and every corner whispers stories from the past.
Looming above the city is the Taragarh Fort. This extraordinary, decaying palace, described by Rudyard Kipling as “the work of goblins rather than of men” almost seems to grow out of the rock of the hillside it stands on.
The town's stepwells and blue lime-washed houses, clustered along narrow lanes, will be another city, often overlooked by mainstream tourism, is a treasure trove for sketchbook journaling and travel illustration. Explore stepwells, fresco-covered walls, and the hauntingly beautiful Fort.
