Paint them at Ben Youssef Madrasa
Six centuries of carved cedar and tilework, and a reflecting pool that does something remarkable to an animal's portrait.
Cool blue shade and one blade of sun. It flatters a pale coat the way a studio light never quite does.

The place
Why Ben Youssef Madrasa
Once the largest Quranic school in the Maghreb, where eight hundred students slept in cells the size of a bed. Every surface that could be carved, was.
The scene: The empty courtyard mid-morning. Carved cedar, zellij to shoulder height, one shaft of light on the pool.
Same quarter, different light
