Chester Oil Painting Immersive Retreat


  • Chester, Nova Scotia (map)

Join hosts Amy Funk and Christine Flynn for an oil painting immersive for all levels.

Arrive Thursday night for drinks, conversation and sketching, followed by a cozy dinner at our main venue The White Cottage in Chester, Nova Scotia. We'll start bright and early on Friday morning with a casual breakfast together, followed by a full day of instruction, practice and painting with Amy, with breaks for meals and movement. Enjoy free time after dinner or take a walk to Nova Scotia's oldest pub. Saturday, join in an optional early morning village walk with Christine, followed by another day of instruction with Amy. Sunday, we will have a final meal and showcase our work.

This Immersive Workshop Includes

  • 3 night's accommodation in Chester, Nova Scotia (unless you book the separate accommodation rate)

  • 3 full meals per day, with one meal provided on arrival and departure days

  • Coffee, tea and soft drinks

  • One pre-primed canvas board

We do ask that you bring your own brushes, and we will provide you with a short list of oil paints we recommend purchasing, in addition to the ones we have available.

We will provide you with a small list of any supplies required, closer to the event.

Prices are based on a single-occupancy private room. The price per person ranges, depending on the room. We also have a limited number of spots for people wishing to book their accommodation separately. The ticket price is your deposit only.
