Last weekend we went to Abha and Rijal Alma’ in the southern highlands. It was amazing to see another part of KSA and explore its mountains and historic villages. I’ll post some drawings from the mountain village of Rijal Alma’ over the next few days. Big thanks to Mohamed, Valeria, and Heba for organising the program, and also to Abu Arim who got up at 5am to take me back to Rijal Alma’ for another day of drawing 🥰🥰🥰 Art Residency Program | Al Balad A program by the Saudi Ministry of Culture @mocsaudi operated by Hafez Projects @hafezgallery #saudiarabia #jeddah #albaladresidency #albalad #jeddahhistoricaldistrict #arabia #middleeastart #gulfart #artistinresidence #artresidency #drawing #artstudio #albaladartresidency #abha #rijalalma #rijalalmaa (at Rijal Almaa , Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjj5tVDoFTA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
