A Sketchbook Journey to Southern India with Maxine Relton
This very special journey to southern India has been designed for those who wish to experience a fascinating culture with sketchbook in hand. During your first week, focus on developing and practising your drawing skills, whilst based at the college campus of SCAD (Social Change and Development). This environment has been chosen as it provides wonderful opportunities for drawing and fascinating insights into SCAD’s impressive work with the rural communities of Tamil Nadu. Part of the cost of your trip will make an important contribution to their work. Each day will be led by Maxine Relton as you visit the local initiatives and villages in the area and receive guidance as you choose your subjects to draw.
In contrast the second week is not so focussed on sketching but allows you to travel through the beautiful region of Kerala, experiencing dramatic mountains and river scenery which will hopefully continue to inspire you to practise your drawing skills. Maxine will be on hand to assist if need be but in a less structured way than in week one. The journey ends with a few days to relax on Keralan Backwaters.
