The spectacular Blue Mountains just 100 km west of Sydney CBD has long been a favourite destination for artists, nature lovers and those seeking respite and refreshment from the demands of everyday life. Dramatic vast valleys, glowing sandstone cliff faces and sparkling waterfalls provide endless inspiration for artists.

Join experienced retreat facilitator and landscape artist Corinne Loxton, in luxurious accommodation, with unsurpassed views on the cliff edge in Blackheath, to explore and develop your painting skills and learn about accessing your creative flow. You will be encouraged to follow your intuition and tap into your unique style with Corinne’s expert guidance.

The Blue Mountains Painting Retreat is a 4-day plein air painting retreat in breathtaking surroundings, in which you will learn new techniques and grow in confidence painting outdoors, alongside like-minded people. With uninterrupted views of the Grosse Valley, to Pulpit Rock and beyond, the secluded location ensures you will disconnect from everyday life and immerse in nature. You will have time to rest, meditate, journal, bushwalk or just curl up with a great book in the beautifully landscaped gardens.

As well as the tuition in painting Corinne will introduce you to practices she uses to reliably connect with creative flow - contemplative walking, meditation, mindful movement, yoga and journaling. Together we will visit some of the local art galleries and share in meals. You will have plenty of time for personal reflection, grounded movement and restoration to ensure you feel re-energised and inspired after the 4 days.
