Relaxing and enjoyable

I thoroughly enjoyed the elephant mask painting experience during my trip to Sri Lanka. Janaka who is a local artist leading the session was very skilled and passionate about elephants, and it was fascinating to learn more about them while painting. Despite not being particularly artistic, I found the activity to be relaxing and enjoyable. The historic setting added an extra layer of ambiance to the experience, making it even more memorable. It was a delightful journey of art and culture that I would recommend to anyone.
