- Salisbury is 88 miles South West of London on a direct train line, is a 1hr 15mins drive from Heathrow Airport, and a 1hr 45mins drive from Gatwick Airport. The city is very walkable so you won’t require your own vehicle to get around.
- We recommend booking accommodation in Salisbury city centre, that way you'll have a short walking commute to the studio.
- Please reach out when you book and we can help coordinate accommodation bookings with other painters and travel transfers so costs can be shared etc.
Painting

- Our group is limited to 12 painters.

- In between painting sessions, time will be provided for independent sketching, photography, and journaling.
- We will hand out Roofless Painters goody bags during the retreat's welcome tea party to keep you inspired during our time together.

Roofless Painters is a global community of contemporary observational painters from every background and level of training looking at modern life with fresh and unorthodox eyes. We let our interpreting brushstrokes lead our experience. Rather than follow single methods or theories, we're guided by our joy and self-development, a passion for contemplation, and the thrill of connecting with places and things we love through painting, doing it together for opportunity, motivation, and support. Our sessions are paced and guided in a way that allows you to build your painting from beginning to end regardless of your skill level. Whether you are painting for the first time or you have been doing it for years, we break down the steps and provide instructions on how to incorporate the materials to your process.
