This week, our Magic and Monarchs of Mexico guests return from an incredible adventure along the cobbled roads and highways of CDMX (Mexico City) and three other colourful Mexican states, sketching breathtaking pyramids of Teotihuacan on their last day to complete sketchbooks full of murals, churches, world-class museums, waterfalls, lakes and bustling town squares! The monarch butterflies were hard to sketch, but Mary-Anne’s sketchbook is brimming with inspiration and vibrant scenes of Mexico’s culture. See the painting below of Taxco, painted in watercolour. 🇲🇽

🎄 Art Safari Christmas Countdown! 3 days to go! 🎨

Today, we’re heading south.....waaay south! This stunning icy scene is inspired by Shelly’s Antarctic residency with the Royal Navy back in 2017 🐧❄️

It captures the breathtaking moment a flock of Antarctic Shags takes flight through the Tickle Channel, bathed in the phenomenal glow of an Antarctic sunset. Isn’t the light just magical?

Art like this transports us to faraway frozen landscapes, perfect for a festive winter countdown!

Painting holidays for adventurous artists

Open that page... Travel with a paint box and a sketchbook! Travel in your mind during Covid restrictions with our Virtual Holidays. Travel in person with us when we can, as soon as we can.

Art Safari is all about how to look with an artist's eye. You will capture images on paper by direct observation. Sketch wildlife, landscape and people around the world on our exciting painting holidays and workshops.

Art Safari’s tutors and guides will make sure that your time spend painting abroad (or at home for virtual trips) is exciting and informative.

Art Safari began in Malawi in 1999 when Mary-Anne Bartlett led her first painting trip in Liwonde National Park and called it ‘Art Safari’. Since then Art Safari tutors have led tours to more than 40 countries worldwide, from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
