Welcome to

Make it stand out

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

A WORKSHOP OF CONNECTIONS

FOUNDATIONALLY FOCUSED

A Creative Way is designed for individuals who are wanting to step into a journey of exploring watercolor, forwarding their foundational skillsets in drawing and painting. The beautiful opportunity in this retreat setting allows your mind and body to be immersed in a new setting, a creative rhythm and encouraging community for a few days. It invites a special settling that only dedicated creating time can.

This retreat is an opportunity to learn Sarah’s watercolor techniques, work on guided projects and develop a lasting creative practice of your own. Sarah will teach, as well as share about her own artistic development, and her specific processes in her creative practice as well. The watercolor sessions will include brush techniques, color mixing, composition, still life, sketching and more.


Our hope is that you will explore and develop your own style, connect with other artists on this journey with you and have the satisfying experience of creating in a beautiful place, with delicious meals, conversation and beauty all around.
