FAQ
Do I need to be experienced at painting outdoors?
No! You will be guided every step of the way from what to look for, how to set up and how to translate your inspiration into a painting.
Do I need to bring my own art equipment?
Yes. We provide a list but don't panic. We can be creative if you can't get everything on the list.
Is there much walking on this retreat?
No. We set you up in various locations. We much rather you spend time painting rather than trekking. There are some simple walks to get to places but they are minimal.
