Nepal Art Teaching/Cultural Exchange

A couple weeks ago(2019) I returned to the Naimisharanya Kshetra school in Dhulikhel, Nepal I visited back in 2016. Got the opportunity not only to see my little brothers grown into young men, but also to teach some art classes. Did a class on basic proportional anatomy and another of figure drawing.

Special thanks to my friend and Nepali sister Muna Kuikel (check out her art here: @_mukuarts) for helping me translate and for gifting me this small travel sketchbook. I had many of the students write their names in it. Then a few months later I did quick portraits of each one.

Thowback to 2016 when the squad got fancy to go to watch some presentations at a women’s shelter.
