| | | | | | Dear friends,
| Your VIP early-access window is now open for Cape to Kruger, our 2027 luxury painting expedition with Richie Carter.
| This intimate 10-day journey moves through two of South Africa’s most iconic landscapes: the historic Cape Winelands and the wild heart of Greater Kruger.
| This is more than a workshop.
It is a luxury creative retreat for artists who want to paint from life, study with a master, and return home with work and memories, shaped by Africa itself
| | | THE CREATIVE IMMERSION
| This expedition is a beautiful study in contrasts. We are taking our canvases directly into the elements, bridging the luminous, mist-veiled mountain ranges and historic architecture of the Cape Winelands with the untamed golden-hour magic of a premier luxury bushveld safari.
| Through daily intensive field demonstrations, structured portfolio critiques, and deeply personalised one-on-one mentorship with Richie, you will learn to master deep value control, rich textures, and dramatic ambient light.

| September 9 - 13
| | Our journey begins in the culinary and art capital of the Western Cape. We will spend three days painting plein air among the historic Cape Dutch architecture, manicured rose gardens, and dramatic, mist-veiled mountain backdrops of a premier 5-star wine estate.
| Included Premium Highlight:
| We will host an exclusive, private sunset wine tasting and welcome dinner paired with local award-winning vintages, giving the group a chance to settle in and discuss their portfolio goals with Richie before the first intensive morning demonstration.

| September 14 - 18
| | Untamed Shadows & Golden-Hour Drama Next, our private transfers take us deep into a premier, ultra-luxury Big Five safari lodge. Here, our focus shifts dramatically to the raw, rugged textures of the African bushveld.
| Our intensive painting sessions will break down Richie's exact methods for capturing intense low-country light, moving wildlife forms, and expansive acacia horizons. Each afternoon seamlessly transitions into a private game drive to track predators, followed by formal evening critiques and gourmet dining around an open boma fire under the stars.
