Retreat Reviews

Some of the reviews from my past retreats in Andalucia (Spain), Agadir (Marocco), Occitane (France), Sicily (Italy), Tuscany (Italy).

 

• "I learned so much from Agnes, and she is such an amazingly patient teacher. She makes sure you're not just copying her but exploring your own style. She is also so so so fun to hang out with and get to know! I felt the entire retreat attendees got along wonderfully, and we are going to continue growing our relationships with each other across the globe."
  
  
• "Spending a week at the art retreat with Agnes Cecile in Tuscany was truly unforgettable. Agnes is not only an incredibly talented artist, but also a patient and inspiring teacher who encourages you to explore your own creative voice instead of simply copying techniques. I learned so much during the retreat and felt my confidence grow with every painting. The atmosphere was warm, supportive, and full of wonderful people from all over the world who shared the same passion for art. The venue itself was breathtaking — beautiful landscapes, amazing food, welcoming staff, and the perfect environment to fully disconnect and focus on creativity. It was one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it ends, both artistically and personally." 
  
  
• "I cannot say how grateful I am that we had such a great and beautiful teacher! But not only that. She is one of the kindest persons I‘ve ever met. She shared her watercolor techniques with us, correct mistakes and gave each one of us individual tips to improve our skills. I can tell that I‘ve already made some improvements. She also took away the fear from me to paint on bigger paper. Overall she combines amazing painting skills with an inspiring personality. Because of this she created a safe place for everyone so that you are able to learn and try new things. I am so grateful that I was once again able to learn from her! This retreat meant a lot to me. It even made me not think about the problems I‘ve been facing for more than a year now. These memories will forever stay in my heart. Once again thanks to everyone who made this retreat possible and so perfect!"
  
  
• "This Art Retreat with Agnes Cecile has been incredible. Agnes is a wonderful teacher. She shared with us everything about her process, taught about drawing and painting and helped us through the whole process while we were painting. In just a week, I did notice a big difference between my first painting and the last one! :) We also had lots of really nice conversations and you can learn a lot from her. On top of all of that, all artists that were part of the group were amazing people and I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to meet them and get to know each other! It was a wonderful and special week so I would recommend it. It's such a great experience!"
  
  
• "I cannot say enough good things about my experience with everything. I truly had a fantastic time. The daily schedules were really helpful with keeping me organized and knowing how to plan my days. I’m extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from Agnes Cecile at such a beautiful retreat space. And I was lucky to make great connections with fellow artists. 10/10 would do it all again if given the chance!"
