2027 Marrakech Retreats

Tailored Painting Retreats in Marrakech

Flavia Birsan

23-30 January

Being an expat artist taught me one thing: you can paint anywhere in the world — and the more you step out of your comfort zone, the more alive your work becomes.

Join me for a 7-day retreat in Marrakech with daily studio time, demonstrations, feedback and a supportive small group. Experience my process up close — and create your own work with freedom and confidence, surrounded by the colour, light, and beauty of Morocco.

Karen Bishop & David Shkolny

30 January – 07 February

Plein air watercolour & pastels

Join David Shkolny and Karen Bishop in Marrakech for a painting holiday designed to awaken your creativity and your sense of adventure. As plein air artists working in watercolour, pastel and acrylic, we’re excited to share this experience with you — guiding you through vibrant souks, tranquil riads, and the ever-changing light of Morocco while helping you translate what you see and feel into expressive, meaningful work. Together we offer fluid, intuitive exploration and thoughtful, structured guidance in a supportive, small-group setting.

David and Karen invite you to experience Marrakech through the eyes of an artist. Our shared goal is that you will find the space to slow down, notice deeply, paint on location, and fully enjoy the culture, food, and rhythm of Marrakech alongside a group of like-minded artists. We can’t wait to share this journey with you and look forward to an unforgettable week of painting, connection, and inspiration.

Join me for a week immersed in color, pattern, light, and inspiration unlike anywhere else in the world. We’ll wander through vibrant markets, sketch intricate tiles and doorways, sip mint tea, and gather ideas- then slow down and turn it all into art together. It’s the perfect blend of exploration and studio time, guided support and creative freedom. If you’re craving a reset, a spark, and a beautiful adventure surrounded by like-minded women, this is your invitation.

This retreat emphasizes translating the textures, colours, and rhythms of Marrakech into layered mixed-media artworks.
