Bali Art Retreat - Acrylics - 12 to 18 May 2027 - Seminyak - $2,750
Acrylics in Bali with Ann Steer - Seminyak 12 to 18 May 2027 I'm so delighted to invite you to join me in beautiful Bali for what I know will be a truly special week. Over many years of teaching art, I've discovered that painting is about so much more than creating beautiful pictures. It's about slowing down, learning to really see the world around us, building confidence and finding joy in the creative process. Bali has long been one of my favourite places to paint. The colours are vibrant, the people welcoming, the scenery endlessly inspiring and the atmosphere encourages you to simply relax and enjoy each day. This retreat has been carefully planned to offer the perfect balance of guided painting sessions, free time to unwind and opportunities to experience everything that makes Bali so magical. Whether you're travelling on your own or with a friend, you'll be warmly welcomed into our small group. Many guests arrive as strangers and leave with lifelong friendships. My goal is for every person to leave with new artistic skills, renewed confidence and a collection of paintings they are genuinely proud of. I can't wait to share this wonderful experience with you. Why You'll Love This Retreat Imagine waking each morning to the gentle sound of waves rolling onto Seminyak Beach. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking tropical gardens before spending your morning immersed in creativity, learning new techniques from an experienced professional artist in an encouraging and relaxed atmosphere. Afternoons are yours to enjoy. Relax beside the infinity pool. Indulge in a traditional Balinese massage. Explore colourful boutiques and artisan markets. Sip fresh tropical juices at beachfront cafés. Or simply pause, breathe and appreciate the beauty surrounding you. Throughout the week you'll create five original paintings inspired by Bali's magnificent coastline, vibrant flowers, colourful architecture and spectacular sunsets. Most importantly, you'll discover that creativity flourishes when there's time to slow down. Whether you're a complete beginner or a confident painter, every workshop is designed to encourage your own unique artistic style while building skills and confidence in a welcoming environment. By the end of the week you'll take home far more than beautiful artwork. You'll leave with unforgettable memories, new friendships and the inspiration that only travel and creativity can bring.
