🕌 More about Morocco...

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I'd like to zoom in on Morrocco!

For a week in March 2026, Katel and Harrison from Perigord Retreats are making possible a painting holiday in Marrakech. I love working with them and this week will be nothing short of magic.

Whether you come with paints in hand or just a curious heart, this week is about more than sketching — it’s about experiences you’ll carry home long after the trip. Small groups mean I’ll be there to support your creative journey every step of the way, and with the Perigord Retreats team making sure everything runs smoothly, you’re free to dive in, soak it up, and paint your own Moroccan story. Exciting!

We're offering an early bird discount of 10% if you book before this Thursday.

If Morocco is calling your name, now’s the perfect time to make it happen.

If you have any questions, just drop me a note.

Warmly,
​Renee

If you know of someone who would be interested in this, then please forward it on. Thank you!

On watercolour art retreats and in workshops I've watched people grow braver, laugh louder, make friends, and fill pages with art they never thought possible. I'm right there alongside them — and it's magic.

Each pathway contains 6 deep-dive lessons that build...

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...

Hi Reader, Have you made a resolution to paint more? I've got something to help you follow through. For this weekend only, I've unlocked one of my favourite Patreon tutorials for everyone. We paint this gorgeous scene together: a sunlit ruin against a stormy sky. It's a full, one-hour lesson breaking down one of my absolute favorite paintings — I've got this one framed and hanging in my dining room. The tutorial is real-time, step-by-step, with lots of explanation, plus you get a reference...
