“Reclaim Your Childlike Wonder of Creation “
Come and join me in this lush tropical paradise of Costa Rica. You will be creatively led through a meditative and relaxing experience of working with watercolor. You get to practice how to mix colors and explore watercolor’s natural gift of softness with wet on wet techniques. Together, we will work on composition, value studies, and the art of seeing the world through the creative process. This is very much a beginner class, no experience is necessary, just a desire to awaken the artistic spirit within you. Participants will be encouraged to deeply study natural forms through observation, and playfully explore the beautiful world around them through this medium.
Being an Artist
I personally invite you to come to Costa Rica for an amazing experience. Relaxing in this beautiful environment, and connecting to your creative self in a whole new way. My intention is for everyone to have fun, laugh at themselves, and just be open and curious. This will be a no judgment zone, no limiting beliefs about your abilities. This is pure exploration in a joyful manner. Come and enjoy a week of exploring the beauty of art and the connections with the new amazing, creative people who will be joining you. Amy Walton
Sugar Beach – Reunion Resort
By the end of this enriching Costa Rica artistic retreat, you will return home with far more than memories. You will carry a vibrant collection of studies, sketches, and paintings inspired by breathtaking sunsets, ocean vistas, lush tropical plants, wildlife, and the magical landscapes that surround you. Each day invites exploration, photography, creative play, and the freedom to follow whatever sparks your inspiration.
This journey is an opportunity to rediscover art as a soulful calling, a way of seeing the world with fresh eyes and deeper presence. Whether you are an experienced artist or simply curious, you will feel empowered, energized, and creatively awakened. Creativity lives within every person; sometimes it simply needs the right place, the right guidance, and the right moment to emerge and flourish. This is the perfect time and the perfect place with perfect loving guidance.
