Join Manon for an inspiring art retreat on the breathtaking shores of Lake Como, Italy, where dramatic vistas, vibrant color, and the joy of painting come together.

Travel and paint  en plein air alongside like-minded artists while discovering how to infuse your paintings with light, life, and emotion. Through demonstrations, instruction, and plenty of hands-on painting, Manon will give you practical tools to simplify a scene and capture its essential beauty.

You’ll learn how to use color effectively and confidently to create evocative, impressionistic paintings that convey not just what you see, but how the scene makes you feel.

Beyond the painting, this retreat is about connection. Enjoy beautiful surroundings, shared experiences, lively conversations, and the camaraderie that makes painting with a group of artists so rewarding. Manon’s motivating teaching style will inspire you to take creative risks, loosen up, and discover new possibilities in your work—all while enjoying an unforgettable journey through one of Italy’s most beautiful regions.

Come paint, explore, connect, and be inspired on Lake Como
