Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh · 15 days
Rajasthan, drawn by hand
A fortnight with a sketchbook, and someone to teach you.
The journey
The classic route — Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur — but travelled at drawing speed, which is much slower than looking speed. Drawing sessions every day, taught, for people at any level including none. You come home with the book.

Fatehpur Sikri on the way to Bharatpur, then the bird sanctuary.

To Jaipur. The palaces, and drawing between them.
7
Amber in the morning; the night train west.

Jodhpur, the fort, and the blue city below it.
