SUMMARY:From Sketchbook to Studio | Art Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself creatively in breathtaking surroundings and join us on an inspiring Art Retreat with Laura McKendry from Sunday 21st to Friday 26th of September 2025. \nSet in the stunning surroundings of the Casentino Hills\, with breathtaking views of the once-abandoned Gello Valley\, this creative retreat with Artist-Illustrator Laura McKendry offers an exciting opportunity to explore the art of traveling with a sketchbook and bringing drawings to life. \nNovanta is nestled on the edge of the beautiful Casentino National Park\, surrounded by 300 hectares of rolling fields and lush forests. This peaceful\, inspiring environment provides the perfect backdrop for a four-day drawing workshop\, where nature itself will be your muse. \nLaura McKendry is a seasoned artist and teacher with over 20 years of experience.

These simple sketches will form the foundation for the creation of energetic\, visually rich illustrations\, deeply inspired by the Tuscan countryside and the authentic agriturismo lifestyle\nDay 6: By the end of the retreat\, you’ll have gained numerous ways to explore any location through your sketchbook—from holiday travels to daily walks—and how to turn these sketches into vibrant\, completed artworks that reflect the essence of your experiences.\n\nThroughout the workshop\, you’ll experiment with a variety of materials\, including watercolors\, acrylic and emulsion paints\, ink\, pastels\, and colored pencils. Special focus will be placed on developing color palettes\, creating characterful\, imperfect illustrations\, and refining your final images to evoke a strong sense of place. \nThis retreat offers a perfect balance of structured guidance and personal exploration\, helping you push your creative boundaries in a tranquil\, inspiring setting.
