Sketching - capturing moments with pen & paint

Picturesquely situated on a gentle hill in the heart of Mallorca, our finca is the ideal place to linger and reflect on the important things in life. An oasis of tranquillity surrounded by olive groves and fig trees with a variety of recreational opportunities. Relax by the pool, on a walk through the garden or in our spacious spa with indoor pool, saunas and massage offers.

We pamper your palate with predominantly vegetarian-vegan full board. Enjoy a feel-good breakfast with tea, coffee, fruit juices, fruit, regional cheeses, seasonal vegetables, homemade jams, muesli, porridge, home-baked bread and much more until 11 am. In the late afternoon, you can fortify yourself with freshly prepared soups and salads before being invited to a buffet with vegetarian and vegan specialties in the evening.

Experience drawing as a wonderful way to switch off on vacation, arrive in the here and now and perceive the beauty of the moment. You will get to know the different materials and possibilities with which impressions can be quickly put on paper. The focus is on relaxed, fun sketching. In a community of like-minded people, motivation grows through mutual inspiration. The Son Manera Retreat Finca and the picturesque surroundings offer countless motifs, which we approach sketch by sketch, watercolor by watercolor.

Our themes: Landscape, botany, architecture, figurative (people, also in detail, e.g. portrait, hands). It is about proportions, sizes, colors, architecture and perspective. We deal with the choice of motif, cropping and the art of omission. Supposedly difficult topics (perspective!) lose their horror because they are explained in a comprehensible and understandable way. And voila, suddenly it works - if you know how.

PROGRAM DETAILS

The course is suitable for absolute beginners, for people who are under the mistaken impression that they cannot draw, as well as for advanced students. Each participant is picked up by the program leader at their respective level of knowledge. We build on this together.

Experience in a pleasant atmosphere how relaxing sketching what you perceive can be. You will go home with a sketchbook full of impressions and will not want to miss out on the fun of drawing in the future.
