From Sketchbooks Into Paint - a 5 day retreat


  • Sussex Prairie Gardens Morlands Farm, Wheatsheaf Road (B2116), near Henfield BN5 9AT UK (map)

Imagine, 5 days immersed in the beautiful Sussex Prairie Garden

2 days working in a sketchbook, a space to play and experiment, mixing mark making with observation. 3 days painting where you will be encouraged to bring a similarly exploratory approach with your materials (acrylic and gouache work best with mixed media, oils an option if you are familiar with them)

This course uses meditation as an integral part of the creative process, focusing on drawing and painting as an experience, increasing your sense of connection to the visual and sensory world.

This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the gardens at their best - whatever the weather - when the grasses are in full height, the seed heads are already forming, and the late flowers still in bloom.

Using the breath and meditation to relax, settle in to the space can help reduce anxiety, and remove obstacles in your creative process, giving you the courage to keep playing, take risks, let go, find your own limits. See what grows in the garden of your creativity!

Time: 9am - 2pm each day (with access to the garden untutored 2pm - 5pm)

Cost: £395 (includes garden entry fee, sketchbook, hot drinks and biscuits 9am-2pm)
