Creative / Watercolor Retreat —

A welcoming, hands-on creative, watercolor experience where you’ll grow your skills, boost your confidence, have new experiences and create beautiful paintings — all while connecting with other wonderful women and forming meaningful new friendships.

We will incorporate non painting events such as floral design bar, creative journaling, pressed flower art, guided walks, conversation cards and more. We often incorporate beach bonfires for our evening activity or sometimes a chef guided cooking class.

Each retreat is different and unique.

When: Choose the location and date that works best for you. No matter which retreat you choose, it will be a full, joy-filled, paint-splattered, creative kind of weekend.

Where: Different locations for each retreat. I typically try to choose a coastal option as well as a mountain option and landscapes that are beautiful to paint.

Who: Women who love watercolor (or want to!), curious beginners, creative spirits with untouched supplies tucked away, and anyone who’s ready to move from watching tutorials… to finally putting brush to paper.

Why: Because learning in person is different. You’ll get live feedback, real-time help, space to experiment, and the encouragement that only happens when artists gather around a table together.
