Landsborough Art Studio's 8th Annual Painting Retreat
Landsborough Art Studio are very excited to be holding our 8th Annual Painting Retreat departing Friday 4th October 2024 for 9 Days on the beautiful and picturesque Island of TASMANIA. This Art Tour is hosted for artists by artist and tutor Karen King. Non-painting partners and friends are also invited.
This Retreat has now been reduced in price and the itinerary rejigged. Come along on this adventure for 9 days and immerse yourself in your art and discover wonderous Tasmania at the same time? Do you want to learn painting en Plein Air, sketch booking, painting landscapes, urban sketching / painting and much more whilst exploring the historic and colonial past of one of the worlds most beautiful islands? This Painting Retreat workshop is shaping up to be one of the most amazing art workshops you will attend. I will be demonstrating in watercolour, pastels, pen and wash and more, however, you can paint in whatever medium you prefer. Invitations are also extended to both artists and their partners and/or friends. ALL LEVELS OF COMPETENCY ARE CATERED FOR JUST A BEGINNER - no problems Bookings are currently being taken. I have secured a PRIVATE coach for the duration of our trip and the bus will not be filled so we have plenty of room to relax. The itinerary is loosely based on a 50 /50 basis of sightseeing and painting each day so there will be much to do for everyone. We will be discovering mainly the East Coast and top of Tasmania working in an anticlockwise movement travelling along the most picturesque East side of the island and then across the top to Cradle Mountain ending in Launceston.
Additional days are optional in both Hobart and Launceston.
