Joined the Italy retreat to refresh my art and adjust my attitude with a trip to Italy! John is an excellent teacher and I learned so much. We drew and painted and learned about values and techniques. The location was peaceful and the views spectacular. Jana is a wonderful host and cook. I felt very pampered and refreshed. The studio was a lovely place to learn painting and all the supplies were provided. We did a night of cooking and two days of yoga. Walked to the town of Force, saw the stars at night and the sunrise. So inspiring. I highly recommend joining John and Jana for a retreat. Stay in San Benedetto if you can, as the beach is beautiful.

A great mixture of art and relaxation. I learnt a good deal in a short space of time about water colour painting (as a beginner). Food was delicious and thoroughly loved being surrounded by kittens!

Excellent teaching by John, Jana’s amazing cooking, hundreds of sweet little kittens… in other words HEAVEN ;P
The hosts are really nice, wonderful people.
A really good experience that I recommend to anyone who wants to explore the watercolours, see some amazing views, enjoy really good food and pet animals all day long (although the last part is not obligatory ;) ).

We didn’t visit the retreat but an offshoot tutorial experience in Florence. We had a truly amazing time. John has a great teaching style and he took us to some amazing places. We walked all of Florence and produced five watercolours from scratch. I truly learnt a huge amount, was deliciously exhausted and really happy. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. Book a tour you won’t regret it!

Recently returned from a drawing & painting course at 'The Retreat'. My first introduction to water colours and plein air painting ...wow !! John was very patient, really enjoyed the week and the knowledge he passed on to me. My husband went along as a non painter, he had a great time. We both enjoyed the time spent with his family including the pooches, wonderful hospitality, Jana created delicious food and the beautiful landscape of 'The Retreat'.

We had a wonderful time at the retreat. John is an exceptional art teacher, and we learnt a huge amount. There is a good mix of instruction and practice, various media and working on site and in different villages.
The retreat was in beautiful remote countryside near some charming villages.
Was a wonderful escape, with delicious food too (catered excellently to our vegetarian needs).
It is worth noting that there are several dogs and cats that are on site and interact with the guests - for me this was a bonus (for my husband less so)!
Photos are paintings of purse - 2 novices.

A friend told me about the retreat. I was looking for a vacation where I could learn drawing and painting and a friend told me about this retreat. I had never heard of Le Marche, much less Force, Italy. I went to Italy a few days early and visited Rome and Florence. I enjoyed both, but mostly Florence. I took the train to San Benedetto del Tronto and was picked up by the instructor, John, and taken to his home for the retreat.
We had dinner that night and I met John’s wife Jana and the other students there for the week. great. Jana is an excellent cook and made all meals during the week.
We started drawing and painting the next day. I painted about 4 paintings that week and learned a great deal. We painted there and at local towns in the streets. Everywhere in this area seems to look like a potential painting People came up to us in towns and watched. It was very fun and I got back into painting again which was my main purpose. I am continuing at home.
John is a very knowledgeable instructor and knows how to encourage and critique. The retreat itself is beautiful. His wife and 2 daughters were great to meet and spend time with. The other students were very friendly as well.
Also the dogs at the retreat are great.
I cannot recommend enough. Definitely the best vacation I have ever had. And very happy i went to get back into art.

I spent a week at The Retreat doing a plein-air course with John. John is an incredibly patient teacher and i learned a lot from him. I spent six days doing the following:
Wake up -> eat breakfast -> paint / draw / be creative -> eat lunch -> paint / draw / be creative -> aperitif -> Eat dinner -> more art / relax -. sleep -> repeat. It was the best way for me to spend a holiday! I loved every minute.
Jana, John's wife is an excellent cook and made the most delicious, fresh meals. I left the Retreat inspired, slightly fatter, and fully rested!

We (2 parents, 2 kids aged 12 and 8) had a wonderful week with John, Jana and their daughters at the aptly named Retreat. The stunning mountainside setting is the perfect location for what John and Jana offer - expert painting tuition, delicious food and wine, comfortable accommodation and a relaxed and sociable environment with other guests. John's talent and skills are combined with the patience of a former school teacher and this makes the tuition a rewarding experience for the novice and the more experienced artist. Ours was a watercolour course (new to me) and John guided everyone towards excellent progress during the week. Our girls had a wonderful time with their girls - who were very welcoming, friendly and great fun - and enjoyed being introduced to all the animals that also enjoy life at the Retreat. A great week which we will all remember happily for a long time!

Wonderful week at Force, in a beautiful corner of Italy, with John Skelcher as a very inspiring demonstrator / teacher (see photos) which worked well for both the not so skilled as the more creative... Good food / cooking just added to the experience.

How do I get there from the UK
The Retreat
2 ผลงาน
Hi Susan, As Andy and Fionnula suggested, you can fly Stansted to Ancona, and the flight times differ according to season and day of the week. Another option from Stansted is to fly to Pescara hich is at equal distance to us as Ancona. The Rynair schedule for next spring is available, so it's orth checking that route for reasonable flight times. Otherise, flying to Rome is also a very good option and many guests add a few days on in Rome before or after a course ith us as it's such a convenient opportunity. Other flight destinations available from the UK include Rimini, or Forli or Bologna. Many of our oversea guests tend to visit various locations on their visit to Italy, so come to us from Florence or Venice as it's easy to take the train down. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have. Jana

Hello everyone! I'm so inspired to go and try this painting in Italy! I'm wondering if anyone who has gone can please help me figure out the best way to go about getting to Italy. I live in Colorado and am planning to do one of the July courses. I know it's only about 4 months away, but I would still like to go. How can I go about getting a decent price for a flight? I do not know too much about getting deals but any advice would help. Thank you so much
