This retreat, led by professional artists Rachel and Kathryn Welford, offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and explore different drawing techniques in the heart of Dalby Forest, within the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
Throughout the weekend, participants will delve into the art of drawing as a way of observing and immersing themselves in the natural world. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, this retreat caters to all levels of drawing experience, providing structured teaching and individual support.
The Spring Retreat, part of a four-season series, will focus on capturing the textures, light, and signs of spring and new growth. You will have the chance to experiment with various drawing materials, such as pencil, charcoal, pastels, and inks, and learn how to adapt your techniques for different scales and surfaces. The retreat also offers the opportunity to work outdoors, directly in nature, allowing you to closely observe and gain inspiration from your surroundings.
In addition to the enriching artistic experience, participants can enjoy the comforts of luxury accommodation, delicious meals, and the company of like-minded individuals. The retreat includes a tutor's introduction, art materials, lunches, and refreshments. Resident participants will have the added benefit of staying in beautiful en-suite double rooms or a cottage in the grounds.
