Ajay's Art School

This retreat is a must on any aspiring or recreational artist’s bucket list. It is the perfect retreat to rest the soul, learn new art skills and forge new friendships blended with an opportunity to explore the beautiful village of Paternoster. Ajay’s ability to effectively instruct and guide on technical aspects of art in an easy to grasp way in this beautiful setting, and the delicious meals that are served make this a highly recommended event - I absolutely loved it and wholeheartedly endorse it.

Thank you for introducing me to Phthalo Green! Dearest Ajay what a wonderful memorable, fabulous creative week I look forward to being your favourite student in 2023!!!

He is awesome at his work. I went to his art retreat at Paternoster and it was so much learning and lot of delicious food and fun. I wanna learn more from him. He is very skilled and excellent at oil painting, acrylics, water colours, stencils and I don’t know what else he knows.

Every class I've attended at Ajay's Art has been a wonderful and informative experience. My art has improved tremendously under Ajay's and Hesther's tutelage and guidance. As well as my knowledge and appreciation of art in general. The atmosphere there is just perfect and seeing the amazing art fellow students put out is truly inspiring. Wholeheartedly recommended.

I have been a student since 2008 and love each lesson. It’s the best space to just be yourself and create beautiful art. Best teachers, best training and best atmosphere!! The art tours and art days are so beautifully designed to make you feel completely pampered but feel like you are at home! The Rules are straight forward and simple. Ajay and Hester work with integrity, honesty and are very professional in all that they do. Best classes I have come across!!

What a week! What an education! The Paternoster retreat is hard to describe; fun fun fun! Highly recommend it. Ajay is great at inspiring confidence.

I've been coming to Ajay's Art Classes on and off for a long time now. Every time I've come back, the place has held the same, warm environment I remember from when first starting. Ajay gives brilliant art lessons and guides you to your best potential, no matter the themes of your art and the medium you choose to work in; you are always welcomed here.

I have spent many year attending classes at Ajay’s art studio and both Hester and Ajay have always impressed me as exceptionally talented artists and committed teachers. Their systematic methodology and strong work ethic has always ensured positive results. They are always willing to go the extra mile with their students, putting time and effort into research and resources to facilitate their learning. Attending any of their art workshop was very creative and helped to develop creativity in any student....it is also very enjoyable and helps you to relax. It has been an eye opener for me to experience working with topics which I would never have thought of. Working with Ajay’ Art has been a very positive experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to explore art for themselves

I have been going to Ajays classes for more than 10 years. I love that I can follow the rules and principles to always come out great results. You are free to be who you are and there is no pressure to work on styles and mediums you don’t enjoy. I have also met really interesting people throughout the years and generally find classes lighthearted - and there is always music!

I have been taking classes with Ajay for 18mnths now & would chew off my own arm rather than missing a class! He is a natural teacher and approaches each student differently to guide them through various techniques as well as through the creative process. He gives the student freedom to explore at his or her own pace while creating a fun, relaxed, and friendly class environment. I have gained so much knowledge and confidence from his classes. His rates are very competitive considering he teaches for two hours where many classes are only 60min. The rules are simple and in the best interest of class continuity, also encouraging students to be committed. Ajay also offers great additional workshops to stimulate artists in different areas. I would highly recommend Ajays Art Foundation to anyone, young or old, looking to explore their creative side.
