Marrakech painting retreat — a creative adventure in Morocco

3 rooms left!!

I’m thrilled to be teaming up once again with Katel and Harrison from Périgord Retreats — but this time, we’re swapping French villages for Moroccan spice and sunshine! I love collaborating with them, and I just know this Marrakech painting retreat will be nothing short of magical.

Seven inspiring days in Marrakech
Imagine a week of creativity and connection, staying in a stunning private domaine just outside the city. We’ll balance relaxed plein air painting sessions with cultural adventures, venturing into Marrakech and the surrounding countryside.

What to expect

  • Sketching vibrant souks, colourful bazaars, intricate tiles and lush gardens.

  • Exploring the warm desert light and rich Moroccan colour palette.

  • Daily painting sessions designed to build your confidence sketching on location.

  • A small, friendly group of like-minded artists.

This is your chance to fill your sketchbook with colour, culture and creativity — Morocco style. Whether you’re an experienced painter or new to travel sketching, this retreat offers the perfect blend of learning, inspiration and adventure.
