Around Ubud there are what i call Painting Villages. Behind the street front shops you can often see the artists working in the living compunds. In the bigger more expensive galleries (which I can't afford) they have an apprentice system and it is really fascinating to see the different "levels" of expertise. All the artists live in the compound together. In Ubud we went to a gallery past the Delta Supermarket and on the same side. The owner also owns "Tino" beauty salon and supermarket on the main street of town. These galleries often have different styles of art in different rooms. There are several "schools" of art in Bali which I am sure your artist friend would appreciate.
