About this experience

Instagram: pavankapoor21art
A popular testimonial from past students is the zen and dreamy state of mind where they feel in harmony with their inner selves as the sound of water and mindful painting process besides teaching you how to create amazing watercolor projects in a short time I focus on the therapeutic side of art.

People paint with no expectations and judgements and while painting layers their paper shave off layers off their hearts and go back feeling in touch with their hearts by simply creating a part of themselves.
Another factor which makes this a unique experience is the free and helpful Insights I can provide as a local having lived more than three decades in Indonesia.
Note: This is a private workshop and not part of the hotel activities.
