An artist all her adult life, she has been preoccupied with landscape for most of the 30 years she has been practising. Having grown up at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa and spending many childhood hours on or around water, seatop cliffs and mountains, Corinne identified with nature from a young age. In the tradition of the Northern Romantics, she has always regarded her landscape paintings as reflections of human emotions, of experiences imbued with spiritual and emotional significance.The Loxton family migrated to Australia in the late 80s and at 15, Corinne found herself thrust into a culture and environment that felt alien and uncomfortable. Once she had completed school in Brisbane, she eagerly took up a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Canberra School of Arts, ANU. Here she was able to further her interest in both painting and printmaking under the tutelage of fine contemporary artists and teachers, such as Mandy Martin, Robert Boynes and Ruth Waller.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4nsZ56cLP0About Corinne Loxton’s Painting ProcessCorinne Loxton’s paintings are inspired by many hours spent wandering and paying attention to nature - the colours, textures, light and shadow of her local landscape in the Blue Mountains and other places she visits. Not simply an empirical study of nature’s phenomena, her paintings evoke nature’s processes of transformation and renewal, embodying complex narratives of life - the balance and paradox of pain and pleasure, love and loss.Corinne writes, “I experience mountains as places of intimate spiritual communion. They literally lift me, casting my gaze above and beyond, to contemplate an ‘other’ reality, one that transcends and simultaneously inhabits me. Labyrinth-like the Blue Mountains invite me to delve down into the valleys to discover its secrets while transporting me into mystical places.”For the past 30 years Corinne has been painting ethereal land and sky scapes. As well as working in her Blue Mountains studio, Corinne has worked directly from nature, in many locations around Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Corinne’s technique varies considerably, depending on whether she is painting ‘alla prima’ en plein air or in the studio. The smaller works made outdoors are created with an immediacy and spontaneity necessitated by working directly from the subject, to capture the ever-changing effects of light and colour. In contrast, the studio paintings that still reflect Corinne’s preoccupation with beauty and her sense of wonder at the majesty of nature, are developed using many layers of transparent paint to develop the complexity of colour and feeling in each work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0NNVG5E4N0&t=30sIf you are unsure if this retreat is a fit for you, please contact me with your questions, I'd love to chat with you! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/edfa1490-a985-11f1-ad57-411ed296ae31-rimg-w700-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg Day 1🕑: 11:00 AM - 01:30 PMSettle in, walk the property and meet and greet🕑: 01:30 PM - 03:30 PMPlein Air Painting TutorialAfternoon Tea🕑: 04:00 PM - 05:30 PMPlein air practice followed by Yoga or a bushwalkDay 2 🕑: 08:00 AM - 09:00 AMMorning Yoga and Meditation🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AMPainting TutorialMorning Tea🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PMPlein Air Painting SessionRestAfternoon Tea🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMLunch🕑: 04:00 PM - 06:00 PMPlein Air Painting SessionDay 3🕑: 08:00 AM - 09:00 AMMorning Guided Bushwalk🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AMMeditationMorning Tea🕑: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PMPainting tutorial followed by independent plein air practiceAfternoon Tea🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMLunchRest🕑: 04:00 PM - 06:00 PMPlein Air Painting SessionDay 4 🕑: 08:00 AM - 08:30 AMMorning Yoga🕑: 09:00 AM - 11:00 AMPlein Air Painting SessionMorning Tea🕑: 11:30 AM - 01:00 PMPlein Air Painting Session🕑: 01:30 PM - 02:30 PMFarewells and Feedback - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bogee/capertee-plein-air-painting-retreat-incl-yoga-bushwalking-meditation/100001986777568189 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, health-wellness, meditation, drawing-painting, yoga, workshops, literary-art, meet-and-greet, performances, meetups, theatre, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes - Location: 1 Port Macquarie Rd - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 149.55, max: 780, currency: AUD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bogee - **state**: NS - **country**: Australia - **location**: 1 Port Macquarie Rd - **lat**: -32.9853238 - **long**: 150.1075989 - **full address**: 1 Port Macquarie Rd, 1 Port Macquarie Road, Bogee, Australia ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Capertee Plein Air Painting Retreat - incl Yoga, Bushwalking, Meditation - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/a5b47c7a2592a3c7e04025833ff927d879ea6967c0697e47e126ddb33e5da58a-rimg-w1200-h600-dcaaa8a7-gmir.jpg?v=1781074557 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Capertee Plein Air Painting Retreat - incl Yoga, Bushwalking, Meditation being held? - **A:** Capertee Plein Air Painting Retreat - incl Yoga, Bushwalking, Meditation takes place on Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 11:00 am to Mon, 12 Oct, 2026 at 02:30 pm at 1 Port Macquarie Rd, 1 Port Macquarie Road, Bogee, Australia. - **Q**: Who is organizing Capertee Plein Air Painting Retreat - incl Yoga, Bushwalking, Meditation? - **A:** Capertee Plein Air Painting Retreat - incl Yoga, Bushwalking, Meditation is organized by Corinne Loxton - Blue Mountains Artist. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

The trees and rocks standing sentinel, the shifting light and colour, the clouds building or dispersing – these are the characters in Corinne’s paintings that speak metaphorically about the universal human conditions of loss and love, grief and joy, despair and hope.Corinne Loxton has received several awards, most notably the Elioth Gruner Art Prize awarded by the Art Gallery of NSW (1999), and a Residency at La Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2000). In 2014 she was selected as a finalist in the NSW Parliament Plein Air Art Prize and exhibited in NSW Parliament House.Currently living and working in the Blue Mountains, Corinne has travelled and exhibited widely. Recent solo shows include Passages, Stella Downer Fine Art, Realms and Ranges, Into & Beyond, Blaxland Gallery & Studios, Spirit of Place, Braemar Gallery Springwood, Lagoon Landscapes, Rex-Livingston Art & Objects, Katoomba, The Elements, Emma's Cottage Vineyard Gallery, Hunter Valley and in 2016 Elemental Elegance, The Laussade Studio, Melbourne, and Land, Sea and Sky, Manyung Gallery Group, Malvern, Melbourne." } ] } ] ```
