This week we waved goodbye to Mary-Anne and Hollie as they set off for Bhutan, ready to meet our lovely guests for the start of the tour tomorrow!

They've already had a busy few days exploring Delhi, taking in the sights, sounds and wonderful chaos of India's capital (with a few bat sightings along the way!). Now it's on to the Himalayas for ancient monasteries, mountain scenery, prayer flags and plenty of sketching.

We can't wait to hear all about their adventures! Wishing everyone a wonderful time in Bhutan. Read more in our latest newsletter! 🎨

Our wonderful art tutor Julia Cassels shares her top painting tip! 🎨

Did you know that Burnt Sienna works beautifully with blue when painting nature and wildlife?

Try layering blue over Burnt Sienna once it has dried to create lovely natural shadows on animals.

Rather than dulling your painting with black, try mixing Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna together to create a beautiful range of greys. You can then adjust the proportions to achieve different shades and tones.

Give it a try next time you paint wildlife!

Yesterday the Art Safari team swapped paintbrushes for travel inspiration and headed to London for the World Travel Market! 🌍

It was a busy day catching up with our long-standing, trusted partners, reconnecting with old friends and making exciting new connections. Mary-Anne loved seeing lifelong friends from Malawi, where the Art Safari dream began 26 years ago, alongside familiar faces from Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Mexico, India, Georgia and Ecuador.

There were also some exciting new destinations to explore, plenty of ideas for future adventures and lots to look forward to, including Bhutan next week!

We've come away with very itchy feet and heads full of ideas!

Read this week's newsletter for a little glimpse of our day and where our next adventures might take us! ✈️
