Royston’s Report. Sri Lanka Holiday Guru Newsletter – 01
Here’s a holiday with a difference in Sri Lanka: learn how to paint, in watercolours or oils.
Sri Lanka’s foremost artist, Raja Segar, is opening his house, gallery and studio in Sri Lanka for tourists to learn the secrets and techniques of how to create memorable and collectable works of art.
Segar’s work is distinctive and much in demand, not just in Asia but also around the world. He even painted a portrait of me and the Beatles based on a 1963 photograph from my rock ‘n’ roll past.
The way he works so deftly is amazing so if you want to fulfil a dream and learn how to paint, this is a chance to do it while on holiday in Sri Lanka.
Each master class lasts a week. Art materials and full board are included in the fee of US$1,500 per person. Segar’s house, gallery and studio are located at Ja-Ela, a suburb 20km north of Colombo. The house was designed by a Sri Lankan architect who was trained by Corbusier.
