The pink city of Jaipur is a masterpiece where history meets artistry, each facade telling a tale of kings, queens, and timeless grandeur. From the intricate lattices of Hawa Mahal to the marble elegance of City Palace, the architecture here is a poetic blend of Rajputana pride and Mughal influence. Sunlight dances across terracotta walls, casting warm hues that feel like an endless golden hour. Every street is an exhibition of craftsmanship: carved arches, painted ceilings, and hand-laid tiles. Jaipur’s charm is in its ability to feel both regal and intimate, it’s a place where every corner is worthy of painting, and every painting feels like a page from history.
Jaipur, the Jewel of Rajasthan
About This Journey
Paint and explore with us!
Arteva presents its first-ever journey, a rare opportunity for artists of all levels and mediums to paint, learn, and reconnect with their creative spirit alongside five Arteva’s Master Artists.
More than a workshop, this week is envisioned as a luxury creative retreat - an immersive experience of art, culture, and camaraderie with a low student-to-teacher ratio. Together, we slow down, explore, and paint in a place of breathtaking beauty.
For those who live to capture the soul of a place through paint, Rajasthan is an endless canvas from golden desert forts to opulent palaces. Here, history, nature, and culture intertwine.
Let your senses awaken. Let art lead the way.

About This Journey
Arteva introduces our first ever Artists’ Retreat. This is an opportunity for artists of all levels and mediums to join us for a week of cultural immersion, artistic discussion, and working together or alone. Not quite a workshop, the week is envisioned as a creative retreat with a low student-to-teacher ratio in a place of mind-boggling beauty.
For artists who live to capture the essence of a place through painting, India is an expansive tapestry of discovery. Its ancient cities, decadent palaces, ornate mausoleums, and tranquil gardens are shaped by centuries of rule by maharajas and Mughal emperors. Let your soul be immersed: the beauty of perfect light settling over ancient golden sandstone walls, the delicacy of pattern and color and texture, the encompassing land and sky. Here, history, culture, and nature merge.
