🎭 Miniature Painting Class
About This Experience
Rajasthani miniature painting is a 400-year-old tradition that produces incredibly detailed artwork on surfaces as small as a postcard. Using brushes made from a single squirrel hair, artists create portraits of maharajas, palace scenes, hunting expeditions, and mythological stories with astonishing precision. In this masterclass with an award-winning Mewar-school artist, you'll learn the traditional techniques of pigment preparation from natural minerals, gold leaf application, and the patient brushwork that defines this extraordinary art form.
