The Portrait & Meditate weekend retreat runs from the 29th – 31st October this year and will be hosted in the heart of Norfolk. Relax, restore your mind and get back into drawing with ArtistAnd, who throughout the retreat will be running portrait masterclasses and meditation sessions, along with pumpkin portrait carvings as the retreat falls over the Halloween weekend!

The retreat allows artists of every ability level to explore what is involved in creating a portrait and attendees will leave the weekend with a self-created masterpiece to call their own. China Jordan, the creative force behind ArtistAnd, will be running the drawing masterclasses, guiding students through the creative process in more than 8 hours of tuition.

The retreat will take place at the stunning West Lexham venue, situated in Norfolk – the venue has double and single rooms available with private bathrooms. In the evenings, there will be plenty of downtime for guests to go for a wild dip outdoors and chill out by the fire pit. You’ll leave this retreat feeling nothing but relaxed!

ArtistAnd offers workshops, oil paintings & masterclasses for businesses as well as bespoke classes and retreats for the general public. They believe that everyone can draw and that we should all be trying to push the limits of our creativity. If you want to get involved with Art, this is a great way to share the experience with others and learn from an expert, whilst surrounded by nature.
