Weekend Watercolour Farm Retreat, TAS

Join Tasmanian watercolour Artist Sarah Pienig for a relaxing weekend of watercolour at beautiful Rathmore Farm in the Central Highlands of Tasmania.

Sarah is an experienced artist and teacher, well known for her warm non-traditional watercolour art and textile designs. Over the course of the weekend she will guide you through the process to create a framed artwork to take home, inspired by her popular print “Tasmanian Studies” and our beautiful surroundings at Rathmore farm. Sarah’s workshop content is designed to cater for complete beginners wanting to learn through to more experienced artists who are looking for an enjoyable weekend away painting with like minded people – fun and relaxation over perfection!

Rathmore is situated on Big River nation land in the central highlands, just over an hour from Hobart and two hours from Launceston.
