An Exclusive Plein Air Masterclass with Richie Carter
CAPE TO KRUGER | OCTOBER 2 0 2 7
Join renowned painter Richie Carter for an unprecedented, two-part artistic expedition through the breathtaking contrasts of South Africa.
This curated, 10 day luxury retreat is designed for artists seeking both the refined elegance of the Cape Winelands and the untamed rhythm of the African bush. We begin in the historic, mountain-ringed valleys of Stellenbosch, capturing rolling vineyards and iconic coastal cliffs, before flying directly to the Greater Kruger Area to paint the raw, majestic wildlife of the savanna.
As with all Workshops in Africa expeditions, we have meticulously handled every logistical detail. From absolute five-star luxury accommodations to gourmet dining and internal flights, your only responsibility is to set up your easel, breathe in the landscape, and create.
