Being surrounded by creative people, all with different ideas, tastes and aspirations will awaken your sense of exploration and may even tempt you to try something you never had the courage to before.

In 2005, the index covering sales of old masters showed growth of 18.8%, while the similar index covering post-war and contemporary art rose 8.3%. Over the past five years, the average annual returns were 3.1% and 17.7% respectively.(2). Thats a better return than investing in stocks and shares.

Do your homework and understand the value of the work.When you view a piece of artwork to buy, pay attention to detail. If you look into the way it has been physically created, how much time it took and the journey the artist went through in producing the piece, you will come to appreciate the skill of the artist and the effort involved in making the work.

For Photographers:Special arrangements are made for photographers depending on requirements. Extra excursions are organised to ensure you can capture the images that you need " this may be very early in the morning, or as the sun sets behind the mountains and temples.

It may be that you want to capture a particular part of life on the streets, a particular event, a particular aspect of Nepal " we will help you achieve these results.

We have art tutors specialising in photography that will be able to introduce beginners to the basic techniques in camera use, how to capture difficult images, how to improve their photographs with computer software, and how to use and manipulate photographs to make original art.

When it comes to value, dont be taken in by the medium either. For example, oil paintings are in general more expensive than watercolours, but the latter can require more skill to achieve the desired impression.

The more artwork you look at and the more background information you obtain on various artists and how they work, the more you will learn what you like and why. Comparing the merits of a work with other artist's work will help you determine the inherent value in any given piece and assist your buying decision.

You will be brimming with new ideas, new thoughts and a whole new energy.The excursions and demonstrations are designed to maximise your creative experience in Nepal and ensure you have many memories and experiences to take back home.
