Welcome to the Easel

There is a specific kind of silence that falls over a canvas when you are painting outdoors. It isn't empty; it is filled with the wind in the acacia thorns, the distant call of a francolin, and the slow, rhythmic breath of the artist.

At Art Safari Retreats, we believe that creativity is not just about producing an object—it is about a way of seeing. When we take the easel out of the enclosed studio and place it in the vastness of the Maasai Mara or the quiet hills of Laikipia, something shifts. The light is no longer static. The subject is alive.

Why a Journal?

We created this space to share the stories that don't fit into a brochure. Here, you will find:

• Field Notes: Sketches and observations from our latest safaris.
• Artist Spotlights: Conversations with the Kenyan creatives we collaborate with.
• Technique: Tips on capturing the fleeting colours of an African sunset.

We invite you to follow along, pick up a brush, and perhaps join us in the wild someday soon.
