Develop Confidence and Technique with Plein Air Landscape Painting
Connect with Nature, Relax and Be Rejuvenated through Painting, Bushwalking, Meditation and Yoga
10 - 13 NOVEMBER 2025
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 tap into your unique style. 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.
The Blue Mountains Painting Retreat is a 4-day plein air painting retreat in breathtaking surroundings. You will grow in confidence painting outdoors, alongside like-minded people. With uninterrupted views of the Grosse Valley, to Pulpit Rock and beyond, the secluded retreat location ensures you will disconnect and immerse in nature, with plenty of time to rest, meditate, journal, bushwalk or just curl up with a great book.
