Hello My Friends!

I have such exciting news - my very first international art retreat, announced exclusively to my patrons just days ago, is almost completely sold out! Just 2 spots remain, and I wanted to make sure you knew before they're gone. A huge thank you to everyone who has already signed up - I cannot wait to paint alongside you in Spain. πŸ’›

Wings and Wildflowers Watercolor Retreat β€” Cabo de Gata, SpainπŸ“ NΓ­jar, AlmerΓ­a, SpainπŸ“… May 24 – 31, 2027

πŸ‘‰ https://uptrek.com/retreat/wings-and-wildflowers-watercolor-retreat-artist-anna-bucciarelli-spain

For seven nights, we'll be tucked away on a beautiful countryside estate in the heart of Cabo de Gata Natural Park β€” a UNESCO Geopark of dramatic cliffs, wild Mediterranean flora, and remarkable birdlife. Birds AND blooms, all in one place β€” basically my dream backdrop. 🐦🌸

🎨 What to Expect:

Daily classes and personalized guidance with me

A deep dive into the most important watercolor techniques for creating vibrant scenes featuring birds and flowers

🚐 Two amazing day trips full of learning, sketching, and inspiration: A half-day trip to La Alcazaba of Almería and a full-day adventure into Cabo de Gata Natural Park (with sketching along the way)

Chef-prepared meals, local wine, and relaxed evenings together

A small group of just 16 students, with a closing exhibition to celebrate our week of creating

This retreat welcomes all levels, though you'll get the most out of it if you already have some familiarity with watercolour.

πŸ–ŒοΈ What You'll Learn

The specific brushwork that brings birds and botanicals to life, including glazing, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, wet-on-damp, and negative painting techniques

Color theory and how to build vibrant, harmonious palettes

How to capture realistic texture in feathers, petals, and leaves

How to compose balanced, dynamic scenes that bring birds and blooms together

...and so much more!

With only 3 spots left, I didn't want this to slip by without you knowing. If Spain has been calling you, now's the moment!

Anna, I am a newbie without a lot of experience and I am signed up for the trip. I can cancel to leave room for a more experienced patron if that helps. Just let me know.

Anna Bucciarelli

Hi Linda! I am SO excited to meet you and paint together in this gorgeous location, and I mean it when I say your spot is exactly where it belongs. One of the best things about small, intimate retreats like this one is the flexibility they allow - we'll have a wonderful mix of levels in the group, and I'll be adjusting as we go, weaving in solid foundational work while adjusting the complexity of subjects to whatever feels right and comfortable for everyone, including you :) What I'm most excited about is being able to see your brushstrokes live - offering real-time guidance and feedback in a way I simply can't do through my pre-recorded sessions here on Patreon. That alone, I think, is going to make a huge difference 🎨 And of course, there is nothing quite like being surrounded by the very subjects we're painting - real bougainvillea, real birds, real light - right there in front of us. You belong on this retreat, Linda. I cannot wait to see you in Spain! πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΈπŸ’›

Lisa Rupert Harner

Congratulations on being sold out! I’m sad I missed it. I’m hoping for the next one!

Kim Scales

Linda Bonsignore-Chardon

So happy for you Anna! I am so incredibly sad I have to miss such a dream trip!! I just started painting again this past 4 weeks after 35 years. You have given my the love of art again. Thank you so much.
