    Best Udaipur experience!

    We had a fabulous experience learning about the history, family business and painting techniques. Highly recommended.

    Fun day with Naresh and...

    Fun day with Naresh and Jitu - they were so friendly and kind. But most of all, they were so patient as we learned how to paint peacocks. Additionally, they had a massive collection of incredible miniature paintings for sale

    Must-do activity in Udaipur

    Incredible experience, the brothers are clearly passionate about their art and are keen to share it with the world. We had a fabulous time.

    The art of miniature painting

    Marita_M, Mar 2024
    After some explications on miniature painting by Jeetu and his brother we started the class. Very good guidance by Jeetu throughout the class. One only realizes how difficult this kind of painting is once one tries to do it. Very interesting experience worthwhile doing. Plus we had fun.

    Beware the very hard sell

    The art class was just me and the teacher. I found the techniques interesting and enjoyed the experience of learning how to paint miniatures. Unfortunately the art teacher's father had died one month before and throughout the class I had 90 minutes of the sadness of the family, how he had to support his mother and family, how they had to support 26 other artists, how difficult life was after Covid, how they couldnt afford rents etc. (they could afford pretty chunky god jewellery). I did feel sorry for him (though you do get a lot of these kind of stories as part of the sales pitch in tourist India), I have also recently lost my father and found it all rather triggering. The sympathy didnt seem to work both ways! It was a pretty depressing hour an a half. Once the class had finished the fun began. The older brother joined us. He shut the door of the shop so I was alone with these 2 men. The older brother then started the hard sell. The paintings they were selling were expensive (£250-600+). I explained I was also an artist and didnt have that kind of money but they went on and on and on, reducing me to tears. Even at that point the older brother continued pressuring me - while saying they didnt pressure their customers! I was extremely intimidated and felt it was an abusive sales technique. They were subtle and controlling - get me into a state of feeling sorry for them, closing the door so I felt isolated, then building up the pressure relentlessly. I eventually paid £40 for a painting I didnt really want, just to get away - and even at that point the older brother started packing up one of the more expensive pictures as well. Luckily my husband came to find me as I had been an hour longer than we had planned, and he put a stop to it. I'm not usually susceptible to this kind of pressure, maybe I was more vulnerable as I had also lost a parent, but I found the whole experience extremely upsetting and abusive, and it completely ruined the art class, which in itself was interesting.

    Great Class!

    The instructor was very supportive, and the painting itself was wonderfully relaxing. It was also a wonderful way to learn more about Rajathani art art in general. I would highly recommend this class!
