A weekend retreat of wildflowers, art tuition in watercolours, yummy morning teas, and 2 long lunches under the trees at the beautiful Frogs Hollow Country Retreat.
‘A weekend painting in the country.’
Hello to all my budding Artists.
Are you feeling you need to re-ignite your artistic passion.?
Do you feel you need some ‘me time’ combined with a weekend in the country amongst fields of flowers, old barns and sheds, waterfalls, picturesque creek crossings, and amazing wildlife including coloured parrots……
all surrounding the quaint country town of Killarney, Qld.
Would you like to explore and pick your own bunch of wildflowers to paint?
This is going to be a very special workshop!
After 12 years of owning our property, the historic Emu Vale State School, (1875) now called ‘Frogs Hollow Country Retreat, I have decided to host my inaugural ‘Watercolour and Wildflowers Art Retreat.
In this workshop you will not only be learning how to paint your bunch of flowers and grasses on paper and fabrics, but you will also be introduced to the most beautiful countryside as we explore the area.
Stretching from Emu Vale to Killarney, a working country town, to the top of the Great Dividing Range, where you can explore Queen Mary Falls, Browns Falls, and ‘The Head’ valley which is the very start of the Murray Darling River System.
This weekend will truly be a beautiful, relaxing, artistic & inspirational time.
