This Artist Safari is operated by x2 Art Holidays in conjunction with Bold Travel. Artists of all abilities and non-artists are welcome. Two resident artist-tutors, Wendy & Virginia, guide and support, offering their experience and expertise. Both are current practising artists who exhibit widely and each has a background in teaching. They are passionate about the use of sketchbooks and encourage experimentation tempered with controlled practice. Informal tutorials in artists’ techniques and approaches feature as an intrinsic component of each day. Non-artist partners will enjoy the best of Kenya's wildlife in its natural surroundings, including six game drives; photograph, relax, read, write, walk – and even make a start on their own artistic adventures!
During this safari, Kenya's ever-changing colour and light - and animals - will inspire you. It’s a busy holiday with lots to do and see but you have scheduled time to sit and sketch in preparation for painting back home. Bring what materials you wish to use but certainly a sketch book is a must. Here you can sketch, draw, use pen and ink, watercolour or a range of materials of your choosing; annotate, make colour swatches and plan for work back home. It is up to you.
Each day, Virginia and Wendy will be on hand to explain the day’s schedule and opportunities for the creative process and will suggest ways of approaching subject matter for all ranges of ability.
