Mongolia is a vast emptiness that links land and sky. It is one of the last few places on the planet where nomadic life is truly still a living tradition. It has a diverse wildlife, and we will set off into the steppes and into the Gobi desert by jeep to find wildlife in the landscapes and to paint it from life.
Mongolia is a wild and exciting place to paint.
Join Mary-Anne Bartlett on her second Art Safari in Mongolia for our venture into Khongoryn Els in the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Altai Mountains and Mongolia’s other extraordinary national parks, including Terelj National Park and Hustai National Park.
‘The Land of Blue Skies’ provides us with a wilderness of shifting colours, where mountains lift from desert grasslands and where the light shifts from blues to oranges on the sand dunes of the Gobi desert.
Sketch and paint in some of the most magnificent geographical and wildlife areas on this exciting Art Safari painting holiday, meeting local people and experiencing the depths of the Mongolian culture and beliefs.
We arrive in Ulaanbaatar during the colourful traditional festival of Naadam with archery, horse racing, Mongolian wrestling, singing and dance and we’ll have a couple of nights here to get to know the capital city and its highlights. This summertime festival is celebrated throughout the country.
Wander the deserts of Mongolia to discover a nomadic lifestyle, wildlife, alpine flowers, horses, culture and the greatest nomad’s festival – the Naadam.
