Now in our 16th year: painting workshop holiday vacations and artist retreats in beautiful locations world-wide for creative artists and photographers of all levels. Enjoy pastels, acrylics, watercolor, new media, pencil and more...

We paint at a gentle pace. We engage ourselves in a sensory response to Nature and experience new ways of seeing and painting. Each of us experience the joy of our own personal vision. Whether we are new to painting or have painted for years, we gather together to explore and discover our creativity...

Each day is paced gracefully. We enjoy our focus workshop usually in the mornings and visit new places in the afternoon. When we are traveling from one place to the other, we enjoy sketching and photography in simple and rewarding ways.

There are no negative critiques. Diane and Gordon offer one-on-one dialogue with each artist to discuss the known and unknown and to help restore the intuitive part of our creative process and to learn to trust it in ourselves so we may grow as artists.

In the evenings, we enjoy Gatherings Together where we discover the strengths in our work and share those with each other so that each of us may learn new ways of seeing beyond our own.

All workshops: Audio Visual presentations for your pleasure. Diane and Gordon will also share their work with you, with a focus on their creative process and discovery.
