Creative Awakening:
Watercolour & Embroidery on paper Art Retreat
Avignon - France Sep 22-29, 2026
This retreat invites you into the expressive world of mixed media with Ana, known for her lush, abstract compositions that blend color, texture, and emotion. Working exclusively on paper—with painted surfaces, organic shapes, and intuitive layering of watercolor and embroidery—you’ll learn to create richly detailed pieces that feel both vibrant and deeply personal. Ana’s approachable, joy-filled style encourages freedom, play, and trust in your own creative instincts. Come for the inspiration—leave with artwork that blooms from within.
