Arrive at the charming Greenhills Art Centre and settle into your cozy room in the charming, historic inn.

Breathe in the country air, enjoy a delicious meal, and meet your fellow artists in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Take a leisurely stroll through the surrounding landscape, where you will often encounter an abundance of wildflowers in bloom, offering endless inspiration. 

Each day unfolds naturally with a balance of guided painting sessions and personal creative time. Hayley will share her techniques for capturing the beauty of native wildflowers, guiding you through composition, colour mixing, and expressive brushwork.

There’s no rush—just time to explore, create, and enjoy the moment.

In between painting, there’s plenty to do in the historic inn—exploring its character-filled spaces, engaging in artful conversations, or simply unwinding with a good book. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you are free to work at your own pace.

As the retreat draws to a close, we celebrate each artist’s journey with a casual gathering, sharing our work, reflections, and the joy of having spent time immersed in art and nature.

You’ll leave with not only finished paintings but cherished memories and fresh inspiration for your creative path.
