Quadra Island taught by guest artists.

A perfect painting retreat:

  • explore, paint, photograph, Quadra Island: go hiking or kayaking, tour the island, go on a marine adventure tour, visit local artist studios
  • enjoy  meals at several wonderful island restaurants
  • sleep comfortably  and look forward to delicious breakfasts

Here's a great testimonial for one of our workshops this fall:
Hi Nanci- I've just returned to Austin and wanted to send you a thank you note.

The Grant Fuller workshop went far beyond my expectations!! It really was a significant opportunity for me and I'm very glad to have been able to participate.

A special thanks to you for the arrangements. Everything went smoothly and you were a great and encouraging hostess for our group.

Also, I'd like to thank Elsa for the fantastic lunches. Interesting and enjoyable food and lots of it. Her personality also was appreciated as she seemed to enjoy the group and all appreciated her comments on our 'attempts'.

To Tracy, I'll never forget the fresh prawns for lunch . Thanks for a  real and unusual treat!!

I've sent a separate note of thanks to Grant as he made the workshop work for all of us. He is a very talented painter with the skill to teach often quite subtly. He kept us going with his low key approach. 

As a relative beginner , and, after 40 plus years as an engineer and businessman, with no interest in art,  the workshop gave me a learning opportunity beyond what I've been able to get here in Austin. Maybe it was partly because of my love of B.C., but, I suspect it was simply the 'workshop'.

Again, sincere thanks for a very exceptional week.
Best regards,
             Dick T., Austin Texas
