Join us for a Playful Drawing + Mixed Media Retreat in our own private estate in the South of France!
Each day, we’ll draw and paint in the light-filled studio and share tasty meals prepared by our own resident chef. Between lessons, there will be plenty of time to recharge, reflect, connect, giggle at my French accent, and make fun memories!
It’s all happening on 75 acres of fields, forests, ponds, and lush gardens in the heart of Lot-et-Garonne. You gotta see this place!
We’ll spend a day sketching amazing animals at The Réserve Zoologique de Calviac. I’m talking red pandas, pygmy hippos, ducks, monkeys, and many more!
The most charming dog models, Oscar and Nina, will be coming to visit us so we can draw them too!
We’ll visit a magical medieval town and explore vintage markets overflowing with inspiration.
We’ll be with you every step of the way, cheering you on and giving as much 1-to-1 feedback as you need.
We’ll explore:
playful paper-cut scenes and characters
approaching observational drawing with confidence
drawing from imagination
mixed media layering
and of course, COLOR!
I’d LOVE to draw and paint in person with you for 8 days.
I’ll be there cheering you on, sharing everything I know about art-making joyful and light. We’ll be free of distractions, responsibilities, and pressure. What could be better?!
The cost of the retreat covers everything except airfare and travel insurance.
