Get Ready to Paint Africa

Each day, you’ll explore the incredible sites of Africa with paint, a vibrant community of creatives and a kind art mentor. Get ready to be immersed in the local culture, going on virtual walking tours around the streets, and popping into local restaurants to taste the local food specialties.

Set up your AFRICA space!

It’s important to set up your space for painting. I’ve got great tips for how to do this in a blog post here.

But, we’re not just going to be painting at home… we’re going to Africa! During the live painting sessions, we’ll be playing African music for you and taking you on virtual tours across the plains of Namibia and South Africa. Here are some suggestions to help bring Africa even closer to you:

• Prepare the suggested meals to enjoy the beautiful tastes of African cuisine.
• Bring the classic sights of Africa into your painting space with decor that matches Africa’s red sands and natural textures such as woven baskets, beads and bold fabrics.
• Immerse yourself with candles, diffusers, incense sticks or room sprays scented with classic African smells such as shea butter, baobab, rooibos, or jasmine.
• Enjoy the sounds of Africa in your own time by tuning to an online African radio station.

We’ve prepared step-by-step African recipes and heaps of extra tips about setting up your painting space to feel like Africa , including steps for how to create your own African-inspired room scent spray and recommended online African radios to tune into.
