Sunday fun day: brush painting and shopping

This Sunday was very fun! We had the option to go painting in town! We had the option to paint whatever we wanted with artists assisting us through the process if we needed it. They taught how to draw very detailed African art. It might look easy since it is cartoon, it was actually a very long process as it was very detailed brush work!

After going to this art class were able to go shopping around the area where there is a lot of opportunities to buy paintings, other forms of artwork, clothes, jewelry, and most importantly lots of FABRIC . Many of the paintings here, like everything else, are very colorful and unique. There is a few wood carving places that incorporate lots of color in their art work. Most of these are of the Maasai people or Africa’s wildlife animals. Also, there is a lot of areas that sell clothes (mostly elephant pants!) and unique jewelry. Everyone’s favorite part here is buying beautiful colorful fabric. Many of the fabric being sold here has a variety of patterns and styles that can be tailored into pretty pants and other clothing of our choice! Going to the tailor in our town is also a highlight as we are all getting a new wardrobe.
