Tailored Painting Retreats
Betty Franks
28 February – 07 March
Fully Booked
SUPPLIES INCLUDED Join me for an unforgettable week of art, adventure, and inspiration in the heart of Marrakech! We’ll be staying in a beautiful riad — a serene oasis filled with color, light, and texture — the perfect setting to unwind, create, and connect.
Each day, we’ll venture out to explore some of Morocco’s most captivating sights: the enchanting Jardin Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent Museum, the lively Medina with its winding alleys and hidden treasures, the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, and more.
Our daily excursions will fuel our creativity back in the studio, where we’ll translate the energy and rhythm of Morocco into our artwork.
Expect a week filled with painting, laughter, delicious food, and the magic that happens when artists come together in an extraordinary place.

Think vibrant souks, exciting bazaars, intricate tiles, warm light, and landscapes begging to be sketched. It’s exotic, colourful, and a whole new cultural playground for your sketchbook.
Come ready for colour, culture, and creativity — Morocco style.
