to paint directly from nature, capture the ever changing
light and the fleeting glimpse of an animal in its own
habitat. On our safari you will be able to sketch the
wild animals on the hoof and Gaelle will share her
skills in drawing, painting in watercolours and acrylics
and the use of pastels and alternative mediums.
Each day of your holiday we will venture out to
different locations where sitting comfortably in
peace and tranquility, surrounded by the flora and
fauna of Africa, Gaelle will encourage exploring
different mediums expressing all that you see
around you.
You will learn how to produce working
drawings and quick pen and wash sketches to use
later to produce finished art works.
Back at our safari camp you will learn how develop a
painting from the sketch in the medium of your
choice.
Lessons devoted to figurative painting will take
place in a Maasai manyatta amid the vivid colours
evident in their dress and adornment. We will have
regular reviews of progress made and comments are
encouraged by fellow artists on this vacation.
Gaelle will have all the mediums on hand for her
demonstrations, and although we will supply boards and a
variety of paper and sketching pencils, after booking
your holiday you will receive a list of suggested
painting materials and equipment to bring with you.
