COAST & COTSWOLDS, CREATIVE WATERCOLOUR RETREATS​

"It's very therapeutic. One forgets everything when painting!"  

Stop, relax, escape into the subtle energy you share with nature. Empty your mind and notice shape, space and timeless elements. With fluid translucence, simple watercolour brush-marks can vibrantly recreate your impressions and expressions. Walk and paint alongside Stella Shaw, who will share with you her Subtle Landscape inspirations and experience, by stunning coast or lyrical Cotswold countryside.  Our friendly retreats are available every season, lasting between two and seven days.  You can also travel further afield to enjoy our annual seven day international painting retreat, which takes place at varying times and locations. If you are based either in London or Bristol, you can attend our weekly classes or one-to-one tutorials. We are currently finalising our new schedule. If you would like more details of our Coast & Cotswold retreats coming up, please get in touch using the button below. We'll also be happy to add your name to our email list, if you click the request at the foot of this page.

"Trying different styles gets you out of your comfort zone and able to be more bold, which in turn gives you more confidence."

If you live or work locally to Barnes or Isleworth in South West London, you can book a one-to-one tutorial with Stella, or perhaps a series. Through one-to-ones, you  will be able to progress your drawing and painting skills at your own pace, as part of a programme tailored to your learning requirements. Tutorials can take place at Redlees Studios, Isleworth, at your home or via Skype. A discounted introductory tutorial is available, to meet and design your learning plan and work through relevant starting exercises. For more information, please click here.
