Batuan

Heading south from Mas, you will reach the craft village of Batuan, famed for being the originator of one of the 3 prominent balinese painting styles (the other 2 being Ubud style and Sanur style). In this style, minute details and somber monochrome evoke a strong sense of supernatural in scenes otherwise depicting everyday activities. Batuan artists are also known for their eggshell and seashell paintings. 👍 When buying framed art, carefully inspect the wood. Ensure it shows no borer holes or other signs of bug infestation. If possible, get a frame that has been varnished or sealed. Untreated wood can get confiscated at the airport!
