En PleinAir Painting Retreat

Dates: April 17-24, 2025
Location: The Villages, Florida, USA

Discover the Joy of Painting in the Landscape

Join us for an immersive PleinAir painting retreat where nature becomes your studio.
One of the major focuses of this retreat is to help you learn and practice observing the landscape and translating your vision into art. Together, we will explore how to:

• Identify the light source and its effects on the scene.

• Recognize shapes, colors, and values.

• Capture textures, perspective, air, and depth.

While it might seem overwhelming or even intimidating at first, painting outdoors transforms into a dialogue with nature. You will take in information from the landscape and respond with brushstrokes, lines, colors, and textures. This experience is not only artistic, but deeply fulfilling.

I—Tali, your artist and guide—am here to encourage you to give it a try. I’m confident the process will fascinate you and provide a foundation to continue painting en plain air long after the retreat ends. 

I'll teach PleinAir painting daily, step-by-step, to inspire artists of all levels.

Encaustic painting is an ancient painting technique which combines beeswax, damar resin and then either oil paint or natural powdered pigments to give it color. Encaustic wax is a hot wax method where … the medium (beeswax, resin, and pigment) is heated to 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
Kathy Keller will conduct this workshop 

Your fee includes also a day trip to the Walt Disney the  flower exhibition.
It will be not only a day in a different surrounding, but also we will have the opportunity to look closer at all different flowers, and plants sketch them or paint them (in your sketchbook).

We will stay at the Waterfront Inn luxury hotel located at Sumter Landing, a town square on a scenic lake, featuring restaurants, a boardwalk and nightly dancing and live entertainment.
