What a week! Myself and artist Lindsay Pritchard (aka my mum) have just come back from a 5 day artist retreat which we organised in the beautiful Lake District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accommodate the 8 artists who attended, we exclusively hired Winder Hall, a beautiful manor house set in extensive gardens in the little village if Low Lorton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the 5 days, we took our artists to various locations around the Northern Lake District where we all sketched and painted the beautiful scenery and buildings. We also treated our artists out to a high tea on a stationary steam train, the very one which was used in the film ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ (2017). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now… the Lake District can’t have its famous lakes without a little rain so there were a few showers here and there. However, us artists like to press on no matter the weather so we held a life drawing session in the grand dining room with myself as the (clothed) model while others braved the weather in the gardens to capture the surrounding dramatic scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, no artist holiday is complete without a trip (or two… or three) to the pub! After a tiring days painting, there was nothing better than discussing things art related and everything in between over a good meal and a glass of wine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s safe to say that a good time was had by all, new friendships made and memories to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
