Escape the routine of everyday life, the winter blues & join me, South African Artist Sharon Kuisis, on an art adventure exploring the remote & remarkable Richtersveld!
A very unique and exclusive opportunity to explore a very special part of Southern Africa and it’s overwhelming presence on roads less travelled. We will see some monumental geological structures & experience an enchanted wilderness.... A place laid bare by the elements, and yet with its own unique beauty.
I am a professional artist and teacher and I have explored this area of the UNESCO Richtersveld World Heritage Site in my Suzuki Jimny and would like to share my love of this part of the country, its light, space and stillness with you through art.
Worried about the weather? The Richtersveld is extremely hot in summer, often above 40 deg c, and the temperatures in August is an average temp of 22 deg in the day, and 11 deg in the evenings though it can fall lower at night, with an average of 8mm of rainfall, so its the perfect time to go and explore this amazing place!
We will explore the part of the Richtersveld that borders the magnificent Orange River, as well as the Helskloof/Nababeep Nature Reserve and Rooiberge. I have a Garmin In-reach Mini satellite device so we will always be safely in communication with the outside world.
You will be learning about the great expanse of stars above during a stargazing evening. We’ll be exploring the surrounding scenery each day, collecting pebbles on the giant ‘scratch patch’ along the mighty Orange River, see the earliest forms of art on giant boulders, and learn how to capture this experience with pen & paint and other art forms.
I will be staying at The Growcery camp and there is also luxury accommodation available at Frontier River Resorts - I will book the accommodation for you at these 2 places.
You may also choose other accommodation in the area
