Courses
Building on the success of the course organized in September 2024, we are organizing again in June 2024 at Domaine des Clos, 1 course with the great artist Shiv Swami.
Presentation of Shiv Swami : Shiv Swami belongs to a family of Indian miniaturist artists living in Bikaner in Rajasthan for 3 generations. Trained in Fine Arts, he is one of the most experienced painters in this field and trains numerous students in his studio each year. Shiv holds two Guiness Records for the world's smallest painting (2002 and 2003).
Course content : To teach his art, Shiv Swami uses traditional methods and tools: paint made by himself from minerals, plants, precious stones and leaves of gold and silver. And to obtain fine lines, he uses squirrel hair brushes.
The students particularly appreciated the pedagogy and the great technical skills of Shiv Swami. Participants made handmade paper, with a white ocher background, then learned to create colors from stone pigments. They explored various painting styles, from delicate flowers to realistic animals, while mastering techniques such as line work, cross-strokes and dots. The ornamentation with gold leaf, gold ink and gold powder added a masterful finishing touch. Each student leaves with a painting created during the course.
