🖌️ Last 3 rooms available for 2026

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Well, my Morocco retreat is sold out, but I still have the last 3 rooms available for my other two painting adventures this year.

FRANCE — Perigord, Dordogne & Lot

We'll be hosted by Perigord Retreats - think golden-stone villages, riverside scenes, markets and castles. This 10-day retreat gives us 8 full days of painting with a lovely balance of plein air sketching and studio work. We'll sketch on location and have time to develop our work into full paintings.

This will be my 5th retreat at Perigord Retreats - many students come back for a second or third time because they love the depth and structure of the days (and our wonderful hosts!).

May 27 - June 5 | 2 rooms left
From €3,600 (~$4,200 USD) per person
Group size will be about 12

ITALY — Montelparo

We'll be hosted by Hotel Leone - a beautifully restored Palazzo in a charming hilltop town where we can explore and paint right from our front door. This week-long retreat offers authentic Italian culture in a relaxed area off the beaten track - medieval towns, studio time, and cultural experiences like pasta making and eco-printing with local artisans.

Hotel Leone is so popular I had to book these dates 2.5 years in advance. We're going to be very well looked after.

18 - 25 September | 1 room left
From €3,499 (~$4,000 USD) per person
Group size will be about 12.

If either of these speaks to you, just reply to this email and I'll send full details.

Join me in Europe, I'd love to hear from you.

Warmly,
Renee

P.S.
If you know of someone who would enjoy a sketching adventure in Europe this summer, then please forward this newsletter on. Thank you!

I'm going back to France - and I'd love you to come

Hi Reader, I just got home from my 5th retreat in France, and I'm already thinking about next year. That's the thing about this place. You leave and immediately start planning how to get back :-) I'm returning to Perigord Retreats in June 2027 — and bookings are open now. The Dordogne in late June is extraordinary. Medieval castles reflected in slow rivers. Honey-stone villages where the light turns gold in the afternoon. Rocamadour clinging to its cliff face. Markets spilling colour into...

Italy in April 2027 - 10 days that could change how you travel

Hi Reader, Imagine waking up in a 16th-century monastery and spending your days painting hilltop villages, sweeping landscapes and sun-drenched piazzas. At La Romita School of Art, that's exactly what we'll do. I'm inviting you to join me in Umbria for my retreat at La Romita — April 2027. Artists have gathered here for 60 years, drawn by the light, the landscapes, and something harder to name — the feeling of being completely absorbed in a place. This is a watercolour sketching retreat, and...

South Africa travel sketches, plus a free lesson - Table Mountain

Hi Reader, I'm just back from South Africa — a catch up with family, and climbing and camping to some of our favourite places. South Africa is where I grew up, and it really wakes up my soul: the colours feel more 'me', there's texture and pattern everywhere, and the creative energy of all the different cultures mixed together. I sketched the whole trip in leporellos (accordion sketchbooks) for the very first time, and it's been such a fun, new way to think about composition and storytelling...
