Autumn Coastal Creative Day Saturday 19 September 2026

£130.00

An Immersive Coastal Retreat-Style Creative Experience.

A restorative day of creativity inspired by the quieter beauty of the coast as the seasons begin to change.

We'll start with a mindful coastal walk, observing autumn light, shifting colours, weathered textures and the mood of the landscape. Returning to the studio, you'll spend the afternoon exploring and developing your ideas through creative practice, with plenty of individual support.

Expect softer light, a calmer coastline and a reflective retreat-like atmosphere designed to nurture creativity and connection with place.

The Experience

Studio Introduction & Coastal Observation (Morning)

We begin in the studio with a relaxed introduction to the day before walking together down to Parrog to work directly in the landscape.

Through gentle, guided exercises you will explore:
• muted seasonal colour and shifting light
• texture in weathered coastal landscapes
• slower rhythms of tide and movement
• emotional and reflective responses to place

You will gather visual material in a sketchbook through observation rather than finished drawing.

Reflection & Lunch Break

A quiet pause to rest, reflect, and identify the visual ideas that will shape your painting.
Please bring a packed lunch.

Studio Painting Session (Afternoon)

Back in the studio, your observations become the foundation for an abstract painting.

You will be guided through:
• soft, layered mark-making
• atmospheric and tonal colour palettes
• composition through restraint and balance
• creating depth through texture and tone

Each participant leaves with a finished artwork.

All materials are provided, including:
