Rachael will demonstrate each morning and work with you on location. Your afternoons are free to see the Park or to tour the many artisan studios or continue to paint with Rachael either on location or at the Inn. We will then gather for a three-course dinner followed by some circle time to discuss our process as artists and to share our work from the day.
This trip is from Tuesday to Tuesday (7 nights) with all meals paid except for Friday’s lunch and dinner. Friday will be a FREE day to allow those who want to go to the Park to do so. This is a day for everyone to do as they wish. A full, hearty breakfast is included on this day and every day. Neither transportation nor alcohol is included in this week long trip. All instruction, rooms and most meals are included.
The minute you enter the grounds of the historical inn, you step into a slower-paced Southern homestead where a sense of tranquility prevails. Each bedrooms is beautifully furnished with antiques, artwork and English chintz.The cottages have fireplaces, king beds and jacuzzi tubs. Sitting on 25 acres, there are plenty of nature trails and a pond to explore. Take in all the local flora and fauna. There’s even a labyrinth that adds a soulful touch to an already spiritual walk amongst the grounds. Sit in a large rocking chair on the porch watching the hawks soar over the trees as the sun rises and sets over the Smoky Mountains. In June, the fireflies will be at their best, providing a magical light show to the soundtrack of cicadas and tree frogs.
Most rooms are private with king beds. Some rooms can be shared with a sofa bed. Husbands and partners are welcome for an additional cost.

Over the five days, artists will work from both the model and from photographs. We hope to have the same model for two of the days, and for you to work from your photographs for three of the days. You will be able to use your own photography, or you can use some of Tina’s references. The model fee is included in the workshop cost. The model will start at 9am and finish at 5pm each day, breaking for a 1 hour lunch.
Tina has asked for the model to be any age and any flesh tone! We will paint the clothed portrait from the shoulder upwards. Tina’s suggested with your own photography to involve hats and scarfs to make things more interesting!
In the mornings Tina will paint and lecture. Throughout the afternoons the students will paint and Tina will have in-depth discussions with each student about the direction of their work and Tina will help all she can with your own personal progress.
This workshop will be held indoors at The location will be Carr Head Hall, Carr Head Lane, Cowling, Yorkshire, BD22 0LD.
