About this Art Retreat

 

This is a premier Art Retreat taking place Angus region of Scotland where artists will have a rare opportunity to paint in the pristine and beautiful Scottish landscape.  The area is steeped in history, tradition and legend and was chosen for its exceptional views and inspiring setting. takes place in and around the magnificent manor estate, where you will be painting the natural world on the extensive grounds. Expect to become fully immersed in Scottish life and the surrounding countryside. Scotland boasts pristine waters and a fertile landscape that remains under the watchful stewardship of local farmers, landowners and the National Trust, to ensure that the land is cared for and remains unspoiled.

This is a rare and unique art retreat. Daily painting locations abound and the artists can expect to paint the coastal town of Arbroath, Glamis Castle where Princess Margaret was born, lochs, hills and glens, a whisky distillery for tasting, and of course, the village pub! The camaraderie of working alongside other artists with shared interests is undeniably rewarding. Expect to make lifelong connections and new friendships.

 

On a typical day as the evening draws to a close, the artists gather over drinks to discuss the day’s magnificent painting location and their artwork. Meanwhile, the long summer days provide prolonged light late into the evening. We often remark on the excellent stewardship in Scotland and how well the lands and the wildlife have been preserved. The beauty of Scotland lies in its splendid landscapes and abundant wildlife. The area was chosen for its breathtaking views and inspiring setting.

 

 

Your accommodations are very comfortable and guests can expect to be well taken care of during their stay. After dining on the finest foods prepared by our in-house chef each night, we take up various painting-related topics for discussion and demos. Although the workshop is not instructed, painting side-by-side with fellow artists provides growth, new skills and lifelong friendships. We routinely welcome guests from around the world who have joined our workshops including painters, photographers, writers and sculptors.
