11th – 14th September 2026

More Information

This September, treat yourself to a truly special escape with a Watercolour Art Retreat at Bala Lake Hotel, North Wales (11–14 September 2026) — a luxury, all-inclusive creative break designed to relax your mind and reignite your creativity.

This painting holiday is about slowing down, enjoying your surroundings and giving yourself time and space. Time to breathe & observe, and space to experiment, creating expressive, loose watercolours, all inspired by the tranquil landscapes of Bala Lake (Llyn Tegid). You’ll receive expert tuition and be guided by Andrew Jenkin, an award-winning watercolour artist, with over 20 years’ teaching experience.

Learn to paint trees, water, reflections, hills & mountains with confidence, and discover new ideas about composition, texture and expressive brush techniques. Painting as part of a group, whilst receiving one-to-one guidance from Andrew, you will be able to progress at your own pace. Sketch, paint and relax with like-minded people in beautiful lakeside surroundings. This is a creative wellbeing retreat, where you can give yourself the time to slow down, reconnect with your art, then return revitalized and ready to use your new-found techniques in painting.
