Welcome to a special week at St Raphael Hotel, where we’ll experience happiness through watercolour!
When pigment and water mix and flow together, they create not just magical textures and pictures but also emotions. Watercolour has a special healing effect, it brings peace of mind, helps relieve stress, and creates harmony and happiness.
Lena Johansson, a talented watercolour artist from Sweden, will guide you through this week with her vibrant energy and love for the medium. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, this retreat is for anyone who loves painting or wants to learn. Through creativity, many of Lena’s students have discovered their true selves. Join us for this transformative retreat, where you will not only learn how to paint atmospheric and stunning art but also enjoy the beauty of Cyprus.
The workshop will include a small discussion from 16:00 –18:00, where we will go through what we have painted during the day. This session is optional for those who would like to participate.
Package includes buffet lunch at the Octagon Restaurant.
