When you join a retreat with us, you’re invited to create — with the island as your studio and the horizon as your canvas. Our art workshops are slow and soulful: mornings spent sketching under olive trees, afternoons mixing pigments from earth and stone while enjoying local wine, evenings sharing our work by candlelight.

Enriched by the island’s timeless inspiration, spend a glorious week painting in acrylics or gouache under the guidance of talented artist Mellissa Read-Devine.

“The process of painting is joy for me. Florals and landscapes are all around us and with them I never have to struggle for inspiration. I invite the viewer into my world to see contemporary scenes in rich optical mixes of brushstroke and hue.” Mellissa Read - Devine
