Art Courses at Casa Rosa, in Andalucia

I plan to open the studio at the beautiful Casa Rosa on 26th September 2021 and look forward to welcoming you there for the two weeks of autumn art retreats run in conjunction with Kate Measham, of Hampshire Art Studio.

We will offer two art courses in the Axarquía, the mountainous area to the north east of Malaga in late September and early October and hope you will join us. The hills and orchards of Andalucía will be ripe with citrus fruit and wildflowers. Nestling into the landscape, Casa Rosa will have olives, garden flowers and fruit growing in the orchards and around the houses.

Wild flower heaven

In Autumn, join us for art and culture in the Axarquía, the mountainous area north east of Malaga. The hills of Andalucía will be ripe with fruit and flowers and nestling into this landscape, Casa Rosa will have blooming gardens and patios all around the houses. 

If you join us for week one, an artistic retreat, without a tutor, you will be liberated to be as creative and innovative as you feel inclined with no interventions other than those sought from your companions. There will be options offered, but not distractions, and all the creature comforts will continue to appear as regularly as ever. So it is an opportunity to stay and apply all that was learnt in week one or simply to be creative under your own steam.

If you opt for week two, the week tutored by Antony Williams at Casa Rosa, you can expect an intensive painting and drawing programme, a week of delicious, healthy food made from local produce, and a week in one of the most delightful, comfy, luxurious houses in southern Spain. 

On this second week, Antony Williams will be teaching landscape and working in oils.

We are delighted to have Antony Williams joining us at Casa Rosa for Week Two. He is a wonderfully talented artist whose work is in demand across the world. He is well known internationally for portraits, and people in landscapes, with the occasional quirky still life.

There will be daily tutored sessions, and time to paint on your own. The fruit orchards, olive groves and wonderful gardens of Casa Rosa will be your inspiration. There is a large studio space with easels, drawing boards and stools.

What to expect for both weeks in the Autumn 2021

Enjoy the friendly, supportive, house party atmosphere of art retreats at Casa Rosa. You can come on your own, with friends, family or partners, you can enjoy the privacy and space of Casa Rosa and you can be part of a group. If you want to spend some quiet time on your own, there are walks through the countryside, or up to Periana. The rooms are quiet and extremely comfortable. We endeavour to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as we can.

Casa Rosa sits in the middle of its own orchards and the Autumn will see these bursting with fruit. The house and cottages are full of delightful surprises, pictures, pottery and antiques collected locally and from years of travel.

Have a look at the facilities of Casa Rosa Estate – tennis court, pool, ping pong table – freely available and the nearby village only a walk away.

Meals will be a communal affair, cooked by me with helpers, artists and guests eating together. The produce is sourced locally where possible, including the olive oil which comes from the estate.

Wednesday will be a day off for everyone. Meals will be available.
