Goa Calling!

A Dream come true! Off we were for the painting holiday of a lifetime! Four days filled with painting and more painting and that too with the one and only, Milind Mullick, the Master of watercolors!!

I was first introduced to watercolors and Milind Sir himself in Pune in 2011...when by chance I met a group called Sanskar bharati, Pethe Sir and then Milind Sir..with Vilas Kulkarni...

Like hundreds of other watercolor enthusiasts I attended the beginner's course and sincerely practiced all the washes and other techniques..but it was Milind Sir who was the magician.....he made the brush dance in his nimble fingers, colours flowed smoothly and the paper obeyed every stroke made by the master..so it was with this awe and admiration that I set off for this holiday...accompanied by my friends, painting companions, Reena and Sharda , we boarded the early morning flight to Goa..what followed was sheer warmth and cheer and a lifetime of an experience:-)))

This was a quiet green corner just outside our room in the lovely heritage Panjim Inn

Fonatinhas, Goa! It's in the heart of Panjim and yet takes your breath away and transports you to old time Portuguese style of homes and architecture. Color knows no limits here and purple houses mingle with yellow and blue and pink houses....worth a walk and a visit...
