A highly popular concept in the West, this outdoor activity, known as art tourism, gives individuals an opportunity to learn a few tricks about painting while enjoying the beauty of nature. Mulick, who has been conducting such workshops in India and abroad says that art tourism has picked over the years as both professional and amateur artists from all over the country are participating in big numbers.
