Description
Step into the world of Balinese art and creativity in this inspiring painting workshop, guided by a skilled local artisan in the cultural heart of Ubud. Learn about the philosophy and symbolism behind Balinese painting — from mythical creatures like Barong and Rangda to daily life, rice fields, and temple scenes. Your friendly local instructor will guide you through every step, from sketching to adding color, explaining the meaning of each motif and the story behind it. Choose your own theme — mythological, natural, or modern Balinese — and express your creativity using traditional brushes and vibrant colors. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter, you’ll enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the studio and the joy of creating your personal masterpiece. At the end of the workshop, take home your own finished painting as a memorable souvenir from Bali — a true piece of your journey and connection with local culture.Includes
