Cradled between the Apennines and the Adriatic, Le Marche is a land of golden hills, sunlit vineyards, and timeless villages.
Renaissance towns whisper of masters past, while the sea glimmers with secret coves and pastel harbors. Here, every horizon feels like a painting—changing with the light, inviting you to sketch, paint, and capture Italy at its most authentic and untouched.
NO ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!! This week-long art retreat is designed to engage all five senses—the sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and aromas of travel—and show you how to capture them simply and vividly in your art.
At the ALL INCLUSIVE, beautiful , each day you’ll practice setting up strong, pleasing compositions that connect inspiration with creativity and learn how to quickly capture the beauty of the landscape, interesting architecture, delicious culinary specialties and the colorful people of Marche. Back in the studio, you will bring your sketches alive with the passion of place by weaving together a variety of mediums with the ephemera collected from the day’s experiences.
By the end of the retreat, you’ll have created a personalized, mixed media collage travel journal layered with memories and a slideshow of gorgeous travel photos to share!
