So why am I saying all this, well, I have noticed that when I speak to people about taking an art vacation I am sometimes met with the excuse that an individual cannot draw, is not artistic, would look like a fool and so on, but the reality is, this is just impossible. Once you remove the “fear” element of what others may think and actually tap into you, let go and just allow your creativity to flow you have no idea how good you can be. What you end up seeing on your canvas is a true reflection of you, it is actually a very therapeutic activity. It is one of the reasons why teachers study the artwork of their young students, they can be very telling. Now, combine letting go and putting yourself into a beautiful location, new sights, new smells, new experiences and you start to understand how once those creative juices start flowing it may be difficult to stop! Travelling with http://arthideaways.com you can enjoy the trip of a lifetime in Bali combining travel, exploration and art. You will experience the Legion temple dance, Tirta Gangga, which is a stunning water place, temples on the lake and so much more, but all this will spark inspiration for your work. The groups are small and Sandy, your host and owner, speaks Indonesian so you will have n o issues communicating and being in a smaller group means you can explore those areas that other tourists miss, the secret Bali if you will!Weather it you have spent the day working in the studio or out exploring you will enjoy the luxury of fine hotels. Art Hideaways use two very special hotels in Bali, Lake View Hotel which is in Kintamani north of the island and Baliku Hotel which is in Amed on the east coast. I guess what I am really trying to say here is, throw caution to the wind, let go of any fears you may have and head off on an adventure of self expression, let the inner creative in you free and see what happens at the very worst you will of had fun, meet some wonderful people, had some fantastic experiences and visited a truly inspirational place, I cannot see any reason to fear any of this! www.internationallifestylemagazine.com
