All watercolour supplies are included! Something you don’t get at most art retreats. And they come in a signature watercolour canvas bag made by yours truly.

Art is therapy. Team that in a gorgeous setting and it becomes an unforgettable experience. 

Allow yourself to ‘be present’ and take it all in, as you learn to let loose and ‘go with the flow’ over three en plein air watercolor workshops. Benefit from this in-person experience as we explore loose watercolours.

I have carefully planned out 3 Watercolour Workshops. Gain more from one-on-one guidance, instruction and live demonstrations during our workshops together. All levels of experience are welcome. Come with an open mind to relax and express over romantic watercolour.

There’s much to be said about the learning experience when everyone is using the same supplies.

This allows you to travel light without having to pack a bunch of art supplies. But feel free to bring your favourite products to use for ‘me time’ painting if you wish to do so.

All goodies are supplied in one of my Watercolour Canvas bags.

The list of supplies will be shared with all attendees closer to the date.
