Friday 1st – Sunday 3rd October 2027 | Bailbrook House, Bath
Come and enjoy a wonderful weekend of creativity, relaxation and inspiration in the beautiful city of Bath.
Whether you are a complete beginner looking to build your confidence or a more experienced artist wanting to develop your skills, this retreat is designed to be welcoming and enjoyable for all abilities.
You will have the opportunity to develop your drawing skills, experiment with oil paints and explore different painting techniques. Together, we will create beautiful still life paintings and, weather permitting, enjoy some plein air painting in the stunning grounds of Bailbrook House.
There is no need to have any previous experience – just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to experiment!
You will leave with new skills, a greater understanding of different artistic techniques and, most importantly, paintings that you can feel proud of.
