Let’s go to Loire Valley, France in 2025! And you all get the first chance
I’m officially an uptrek art retreat host. This is a HUGE deal because they are very picky about their host artists and all the major watercolor artists who have a platform on YouTube have hosted successful trips with them.
Their focus is on ART. We get our own private chateau where we stay together with acres of beautiful French countryside to be inspired by that also includes an art studio, gardens and a heated pool! We’ll travel to the markets and castles to sketch and be inspired and grab fruits and flowers to use to paint.
My favorite part: allllll food and drinks are included and we have a private chef! They even said they pack food for us to take on our adventures so we never have to worry about it.
Uptrek also doesn’t require ANY payment upfront so there’s no risk or worry now if you want to reserve your spot first before it goes to the public.
I’m also including all art supplies for our sit down workshops, but you’ll need to bring a sketchbook for any plein air painting you might want to do when we’re at the castle gardens. Other than that it’s only the flight you need to worry about.
The retreat is next July 2025, so you can have plenty of time to prepare.
Let me know what questions you have! I’m so excited to go paint in France with you all 💕
