Bliss En Plein Air Painting Retreat the NC Mountains!

**"En Plein Air" Painting Retreat in the NC Mountains**

Embark on a soulful journey to the heart of the North Carolina mountains for a unique painting retreat. Over a span of three days, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, capturing the essence of the season with brush and palette.

**Highlights**:

- **Nature's Canvas**: Each day offers a new backdrop as we explore different locales, painting the vast and varied landscapes of the NC mountains. We will be painting or sketching en plein air.
  
- **Nature Walks**: Go beyond the canvas and step into the scenes you paint. Enjoy daily hikes and soak in the autumnal splendor that the mountains offer.

- **Evening Reveries**: As day turns to dusk, find comfort and camaraderie around a crackling bonfire. Share your day's creation, swap stories, and delve into gourmet dishes whipped up by our very own in-house chef, Ron.

- **Collaborative Artistry**: More than just a retreat, it's an opportunity to connect. Paint not just the beautiful landscapes, but also bond over shared passions with both new and familiar faces.

**Details**:

- **Dates**: October 16 to October 19

- **Group Size**: Limited to 6-8 attendees, ensuring an intimate and enriching experience.

- Who's This For?
 While the vision is to gather a small group of 6-8 enthusiasts (both women and men are welcome), it's vital to note this is not
 a step-by-step painting workshop. This retreat is more about celebrating the spirit of painting, camaraderie, and nature. If you're experienced, fantastic! If you’re new to the art but are excited to dive in, your enthusiasm is just as welcome. We're here to inspire and be inspired. The emphasis is on the joy of painting, experiencing nature, and community building.
