It's with great pleasure that I can unveil my brand new 7 day retreat for you! I really hope you can make it. I've put together a little video of my time in France and looking ahead to next year's retreat.

Join me in Scotland for a creative and relaxing watercolour retreat  in September 2025!  

September 20-27 2025, Stirling, Scotland

In the last few moments I've already had a sign up from a patron (and attendee from our most recent retreat) which makes me so happy. We had 5 returning members to my most recent trip, it’s so exciting to see friendly faces! 

We’re heading to the beautiful Scottish countryside for my 2025 retreat on September 20th - 27th. Staying at a charming countryside estate in Stirling complete with log fires and hot tubs, we’re going to make the most of cosy season and paint the colours of Summer into Autumn with a little Scottish dancing and whisky tasting thrown in.

Click here to see the retreat!

There is a fantastic art room where we will base most of our week’s painting; we’ll start with the basics of watercolour and move on to all aspects of plant and flower painting, creating lovely compositions and wreaths. Like my French trip, we are walking distance from a local town Buchlyvie which will provide some great painting subjects. We will also head out into the vast and beautiful Scottish landscape and try our hand at some simple landscape paintings. There will be one-to-one sessions with me as well as larger group classes throughout the week. By the end of the retreat, you'll get to create your own frame-worthy composition; a botanical snapshot of your time in Scotland, as well as pages of painting practice and a huge sense of achievement with some new friends.   

Painters of all abilities will get so much out of this trip. There is a wide range of choice for your accommodation, with shared and single rooms. Bring a friend or come alone, you will definitely leave with wonderful new friendships, we’ve had a number of returning guests which has to be a good sign! We only have 16 spaces so head the episode notes below to get all the details. If you have any pre booking questions feel free to email contact@uptrek.com

Grab one of those spaces and I will see you in Scotland on September 20th - 27th.

This retreat has a range of beautiful accommodation, single and shared rooms.   We create a Facebook group in advance of the retreat so we can all get to know each other and connect.
