Norfolk Island

Watercolour Retreat with Cheryl Bruce

15-22nd February 2026
Norfolk Island Art Retreat 

Norfolk Island is rich with history and culture, making it a very special place to paint and sketch.  We will explore the island and it's scenery, buildings, 200 year old fig trees and the local wildlife (including the cows who have right of way on the streets).

This workshop is mostly an en pleir air workshop so if you wan tot build your skills painting onsite, and or travel sketching this is perfect for you.  We will cover both styles, and along with building our watercolour skills we will learn about sketchbook layouts and telling a story of our travels. 

 

Whether you're a seasoned watercolourist or a novice eager to explore the medium, this workshop offers a nurturing environment to hone your craft. Join us for a week of inspiration, creativity, and camaraderie, as you immerse yourself in art on Norfolk Island.

Our painter group size usually sits at about 10-12 painters.  Non painting friends and partners are welcome.
