 12 Day Portrait of a Nation Journey©: South Africa Tina Garrett in South Africa September 18 - 30, 2019: Stellenbosch - Somerset West - West Coast with Darling - Simonstown - Cape Town - Kruger Park Travel with artist Tina Garrett to the magical land of South Africa. Explore South Africa with Tina Garrett and her artistic perception. Enjoy personal connections and casual discussions as together we discover the faces of South Africa from the museums and historic sites of the characters in history to the indigenous and modern people of present-day life in South Africa. In addition to classes with demonstrations and lectures with hands-on sketching and painting opportunities, students will take advantage of traveling with Tina on a daily basis, gaining a personal understanding of how the artist recognizes the muse, through seeing light, connecting with people and making opportunities for magical experiences as she shares her process of painting from both life and photos during our explorations. The emphasis throughout this art journey is on a deeper discovery of the practice of creating the portrait from both life and photos, inspired by the exploration of South African culture — with the special commentary and experience of our private guide.
