About this opportunity
The space
Herman Pekel teaches a direct, expressive approach to watercolour that prioritises strong design, tonal clarity and lively handling over tight detail. Across four teaching days, participants work through demonstrations, guided painting and individual feedback, with time to continue in the studio after scheduled tuition. The course is structured to support beginners while giving experienced painters space to loosen their process and develop a more decisive visual response.
Surroundings
Greenhills Art Centre is based in a historic homestead in Australia, with studio facilities and eight guest rooms. Field trips may form part of the retreat programme when applicable, and participants staying elsewhere can discuss independent accommodation or caravan options with the centre.
Life during a stay
The full retreat includes five nights and six days at Greenhills Art Centre, with accommodation in one of eight guest rooms, full board, teas and shared evening gatherings. Independent off-site accommodation and caravan arrangements may also be possible; confirm availability before booking.
Good to know
