The Artist - UK (2020-05)

PAINTING ON SAFARI

H

azel Soan will be working and teaching

in watercolour. She will lead workshop

tutorials and demonstrations when at

the lodge, and will help and encourage you

to paint and sketch the action when out on

safari.

There will be two painting safaris most

days, which will be tailored specifi cally to

artists’ needs as much as possible. It may

be decided to do some full-day safaris to

venture further afi eld in to Kafue National

Park as well as some portrait painting if the

opportunity arises. This is an instructional

painting safari that is best suited for

intermediate artists.

Kafue National Park is Zambia’s largest

wildlife reserve. It offers a combination

of water and land-based wildlife viewing,

enabling you to paint and sketch wildlife

from different perspectives. Kafue is classic

wildlife country with a diverse mix of habitats.

The riverine forests are full of birds and, in the

more open woodland areas, there is a good

chance of seeing leopard. The swamp areas

allow for easy viewing of waterbuck, kudu,

impala, puku, sable and antelope, and on

the grasslands you’ll see red lechwes, oribis

and roan antelope, as well as other grazers,

including buffalo, zebra and wildebeest –

and where there is prey there are always

predators.

Kafue has wild dogs, lion, cheetah and

hyena. In denser vegetation you’ll fi nd

elephants, and boat trips on the River Kafue

will provide the opportunity to paint wildlife

on the river banks and hippos up close.

Hazel Soan is an experienced wildlife artist and excellent tutor.

Her paintings refl ect her love of Africa, capture the mood and action of

wildlife in its natural environment and the colours of the local people.

She has chosen to return to Zambia because its diversity and profusion

of wildlife is perfect for an instructional painting safari.
