Retreat, Relax, Revitalise, Reignite
This Art Retreat with Jane Aston Studios will help you to tune into your own natural body rhythms as you walk along the beach and paddle or swim in the sea. It is the perfect opportunity to cast aside the many roles you fulfil in your everyday life. It encourages you to be brave and free to tune into what and how you want to paint.
Be Inspired by a Taste of Spain and learn the secret to consistently create New Collections of Art Work
Jane is an experienced art teacher and has inspired students for over 40 years to create their own style of art work. Her Winter Workshops are extremely popular and her students have incredible fun. Using intuitive painting style techniques she will teach you how to use magical colour mixing techniques, composition, values, mark making techniques, canvas activation, design transfer methods and the secret to be able to consistently create new collections of art work.
As a special bonus you will be emailed Jane’s Art Fit on line course 10 weeks prior to the Art Retreat to get you fit for painting on this amazing Spanish Art Retreat.
It doesn’t matter what style of artist you are. Whether you specialise in creating intuitive paintings, landscapes, coastlines, florals, still life, old buildings or portraits there is something to suit everyone. Neither does it matter whether you are a total beginner or a full time professional artist.
This Art Retreat is ideal for artists who enjoy travelling and exploring, meeting up with like minded people, sharing ideas and gaining inspiration to create incredible paintings. We meet as strangers and leave as friends!!
It is also ideally suited to couples who do not like to travel alone. We actually encourage couples to enjoy our retreats together even if one of you is not an artist. All of our out of studio activities are available for non participating partners .
Private air conditioned Art Studio
Available for your use between 9am – 3pm and 5pm – 12pm daily
There will be at least 2 – 3 hours of daily tuition using our plein air sketches, photographic sources of inspiration and intuitive exercises to create small and medium paintings.
Retreat, Relax, Revitalise, Reignite
After just a few days away on an art retreat with Jane Aston Studios you could be surprised at how energised you are to create a new art collection. You will hopefully have relaxed, recharged and be revitalised by your new surroundings close to the blue waters, blue skies and sunshine. Daily temperatures usually reach an average maximum of 28´c at this time of the year.
You will have created art within a group of like minded people and we hope you will have created lifetime friends, supporting each other along your own individual art journey.
We hope you will be ready to reignite your passion for creating art and understand that it is not about feeling in the mood to make art, as that feeling very rarely happens! It is in fact the process in which you work that enables you to create amazing art more regularly.
Gastronomical Delights To Tantalise Your Tastebuds
Full Board with breakfast and lunch or our evening meal to be taken in the Hotel’s buffet style restaurant depending upon the day’s itinerary. One other meal will be taken out on location every day. It could be tapas, el menu del día, paella or an a la carte accompanied by a Flamenco Show. You are sure to be looked after. Just imagine no food shopping, meal prepping or cooking for the whole of your stay!!
