My 2027 Painting Retreats Are Here! | Watercolour Travel Adventures

My 2027 Painting Retreats Are Here! | Watercolour Travel Adventures A few weeks ago I returned from my latest watercolour retreat on the beautiful Algarve coast in Portugal; and in today’s vlog I’m taking you behind the scenes of our wonderful week together. From painting sessions and delicious food to stunning scenery, sketchbooks, laughter and sunshine, I’m sharing what our retreats are really like and why they become such a special experience for so many people. But make sure you stay until the end because I’m also announcing my first TWO Spring/Summer 2027 painting retreats… and they are incredibly exciting. 🌿 SOUTH AFRICAN SAFARI PAINTING RETREAT 📍Manyoni Private Game Reserve 📅 18–25 April 2027 Book your space here: https://www.pathwaypartners.co.za/event/watercolour-in-the-wild-harriet-de-winton-11/register Join me in Big Five country for a week of safari adventures, sketchbooks and watercolour painting inspired by the wildlife and landscapes around us. We’ll stay in luxury bush accommodation, enjoy daily game drives, meet rescue elephants, and paint everything from native plants to animals and sweeping African scenery.

Expect daily lessons, cosy creativity and a truly immersive artistic escape. Both retreats are intimate groups and suitable for painters of all abilities, though I do recommend trying some of my YouTube tutorials beforehand if you’re new to watercolour. Retreats tend to book very quickly, so if you’d love to join me in South Africa or Ireland, all booking information can be found below. I hope to paint with some of you very soon. #watercolour #paintingretreat #artretreat #watercolourpainting #travelvlog #safarivlog #irelandtravel #botanicalart #sketchbook #pleinairpainting
