Make memories that will last a lifetime! - What an amazing experience!! We felt like we were learning from our uncle. They were so kind and loving in their training technique. We felt at ease to ask all the questions we wanted. And we walked away with some wonderful art to adorn our walls. If you are in Udaipur this class is a must

Spectacular - The concept is amazing and so are the artisans. They are very hardworking and the way they taught about their history and then the art of miniature painting was just awesome. A highly recommended activity in Udaipur for people wanting to do something other than look at Stone 😉.

A wonderful dip into miniature paintings - Set aside in a quiet bylane in the old city portion of Udaipur, sits this small but classy artist run shop that teaches students the ancient tradition of Rajasthani miniature paintings.
My wife and daughter paid a small fee of $25 each for a patient 2+ hours of instruction, and I can only begin to appreciate the time and effort that it takes to create a masterpiece in the craft. You get to take home your creation 🤩
Buy from here if you’re interested in getting yourself something special for yourself or a friend. They’re representing the artists or are the artists for the works in the shop themselves, so no commissions or price gouging.
Sincerely recommended!!

Authentic Experience - This little store tucked away only 100 meters from the Leela hotel offers authentic local art and classes from the actual artists. The two brother have generously offered their time to teach the various art forms through painting.
We had known about Pacific Art through a posting on youtube but only found them after three days. Best way is through google maps as our hotel took us to where they got commission. It’s better to see reviews than ask the hotels it’s all a scam while Pacific Art was authentic.
My son enjoyed his almost two hour class for only 25$. He was extremely patient and generous with his time.
I was able to buy gifts for a reasonable price.
Tip: if you go elsewhere and they say its camel bone for what the picture is painted on which is a lie and illegal it’s actually resin.
Please support this small family business which is right next to the gate of Leela hotel.

Must do in Udaipur - We visited Pacific Art for a miniature painting session. It was an amazing experience. The owners, Jeetu Sir and Naresh Sir are 4th generation artists. Jeetu Sir patiently taught us the basics of the art and guided us through the whole session where we created our own miniature painting. There is also a lot of art work available for purchase. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend trying this out if you’re visiting Udaipur.

Traditional Udaipur Miniature Art Class - We booked an art class at Pacific Art where we learnt about the traditional methods of miniature painting by Naresh and Jeetu. We enjoyed our session very much and came away with our own unique hand painted souvenirs and a painting that Jeetu had created. Two very lovely brothers who welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. Completely different experience to main market art traders who often pressure you into decisions! Highly recommend :) thank you Naresh and Jeetu!

Excellent Instructor and Class - My partner and I loved attending this class. Our instructor, Jeet, was very knowledgeable and helpful, and did an excellent job explaining each technique and guiding us through the process of creating our own miniature painting.

Highly recommended, must-do when in Udaipur :-) - From a previous trip to Udaipur, I was fascinated by the art of miniature painting.
When we were in Udaipur for the second time this year, I really wanted to attend a drawing course myself. After some research, I stumbled across the drawing courses at Pacific Art Udaipur. It was important to me to attend an authentic course with real artists. And we were not disappointed.
The drawing course was really great! Jitu and his brother explained everything to us in detail, took a lot of time for us and guided our progress with a great deal of patience. They belong to a family of artists who have mastered the traditional drawing technique for many generations.
If you have the time, you can spend a wonderful, peaceful and meditative morning at Pacific Art Udaipur. We really enjoyed the drawing course there and learned a lot. Even my husband, who usually really doesn't enjoy drawing (and initially only came to accompany me), had lots of fun.
Thank you so much, Pacific Art Udaipur, for this wonderful drawing course!
