A WORKSHOP OF CONNECTIONS

FOUNDATIONALLY FOCUSED
A Creative Way is designed for individuals who are wanting to step into a journey of exploring watercolor, forwarding their foundational skillsets in drawing and painting. The beautiful opportunity in this retreat setting allows your mind and body to be immersed in a new setting, a creative rhythm and encouraging community for a few days. It invites a special settling that only dedicated creating time can.
‍
This retreat is an opportunity to learn Sarah’s watercolor techniques, work on guided projects and develop a lasting creative practice of your own. Sarah will teach, as well as share about her own artistic development, and her specific processes in her creative practice as well. The watercolor sessions will include brush techniques, color mixing, composition, still life, sketching and more.

‍
Our hope is that you will explore and develop your own style, connect with other artists on this journey with you and have the satisfying experience of creating in a beautiful place, with delicious meals, conversation and beauty all around.

Kind words from friends

The opportunity to join Studio Life and The Mint Gardener at a Creative Way Art Retreat is not to be missed! The week is filled with so many moments of creative inspiration—from classroom instruction to outdoor experiences—you’ll come away ready to tackle whatever is next for you. I hope to do it again someday!

I thought the event was perfection.  From beginning to end our every need was beautifully anticipated.  From the food to the supplies we were provided all was first class.  It is hard to believe that this was your first extended group.  It was handled very professionally with a lot of love and care.  I felt the retreat was well worth the money
Sandra
It was truly one of my best life experiences.  The energy, creativity, passion and kindness filled my soul.  Thank you to you and all the hard work that was put in to curate such an event.  Every detail and hard work to implement your vision was noticed and appreciated every day.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m looking for connection, learning, and time to be creative outside my normal day to day life and I feel like that’s exactly what I got and then some.
