Painting Holiday in Africa - Art Safari, Malawi
Introduction
After summer rains the views and countryside are incredible.
Dramatic mountains rise from lush green plains. Sleek animals graze
contentedly. Liwonde National Park, Thyolo Tea Estates near Mount
Mulanje, Zomba Mountain and an idyllic tropical island on Lake
Malawi form the backdrop for a focus on landscape
painting.
This is a slow pace safari at a stunning time of year, cool by
night and sunny altitudes by day, with views to die for. We stay in
simple as well as honeymoon destinations with all the romance of
the bush.
Art Tuition by Mary-Anne
Bartlett
Mary-Anne is an accomplished artist,
experienced in painting and drawing in Africa. As groups are
small there is a lot of one-to-one tuition as well as exercises and
suggested subjects and time to develop your personal styles and
your technique. You will work mainly in graphite and
water-colour.
She welcomes artists of all standards – and non-painting
partners who just want to enjoy the peace of it all!
Non-painters benefit from the attention of the safari guide for in
depth animal or bird watching while others are painting.
In her art tuition on safari she has three principal aims: -
1. To give you an opportunity to draw and paint in
environments which enrich your appreciation of the natural
world.
2. To encourage you to paint from nature and to give you the
vision and artistic skills to be able to make fast impressions of
moving animals.
3. To provide you with a varied programme to stimulate you,
give you opportunity to discuss your work with fellow artists and
to inspire you to continue painting nature in your own time.
