Beat The Light - Art Retreat with Sue Chatterton

WHEN:   Monday 4th  November - Thursday 7th November 2024



 

This event is open to everyone - those who attend my classes as well as those who do not.

We have learnt so much this year.  So many different techniques and styles have been tried.  The summer has been intense with lots of outdoor sketching days.  How has your art style evolved?  With our busy lives, we seldom have that precious commodity called 'time' to reflect and put new skills into practise.

On the other hand you many wish to have some creative time without outside pressures of housework, work, cooking.....

I have titled this an art retreat, because that is what it is.  It is a social time but also a time to channel energies and paint as much as we want.

As part of the program, Rosie Davies, a local artist will be doing a demonstration, and spending an afternoon with us.  Those who were on the Painting holiday in June will have visited her studio in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog.  

Rosie will also be running a workshop specially for us on the Thursday before we leave for home.

WHERE:   The Mulberry Inn, Llwynmawr, Glen Ceiriog, LL20 7BB

A ‘once discovered, never forgotten’ place to stay – a delightful country inn where the warmth and friendliness of the very enthusiastic team is always apparent.

This will be our second visit to The Mulberry Inn.  I have decided to revisit this hotel because of their outstanding service, comfortable rooms and top class food and excellent wine.

The colours of the Ceiriog valley change hourly as well as seasonally.  It is going to be very exciting to see the green trees in different clothes on - or none at all.

 

 

The Plan:   With access to an art room, the emphasis will be on painting in watercolour.  The Retreat is open to all abilities and beginners are welcome.  Weather will determine the time we spend outdoors.  There will be visits planned to local sites to keep us from getting cabin fever.  I will be on hand at all times for guidance and help.  A detailed materials list will be supplied before hand.

The Aim:  For you to go home feeling relaxed taking with you some completed paintings that you are proud of or at least feel that you have made progress with whatever you set out to achieve.  

NON PAINTING PARTNERS ARE WELCOME.   ACTIVITIES WILL BE ARRANGED FOR THEM SHOULD THEY WISH TO PARTICIPATE.
