Capture to Canvas

Shona Perkins and Fee Dickson Reid are passionate about their art and together they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience within their field. They met through their shared love for Scottish seascapes and whilst their work is across 2 very different mediums, both draw similarities in expression, evoking emotion and creating a sense of calm. 

This 5 day luxury all inclusive retreat taking place in the East Neuk of Fife, promises to offer you a truly meaningful experience of artistic expression, drawing inspiration from the local landscape and responding to this in a way that is truly unique to you. 

Throughout this retreat you will learn to work with creative photography techniques such as intentional camera movement (ICM photography), painting using oils on canvas, mixed media sketching and more. You will also have the opportunity to work on your post processing skills, using Lightroom and photoshop, enabling you to get the very best out of your images as well as helpful tips on how to improve your post image review workflow.

The connection between art and photography has been apparent for centuries. Many artists and fine art photographers seek inspiration from both mediums. Both photography and painting use the same fundamental elements such as light, space, colour, line, texture and more. 

At Capture to Canvas you will learn to understand and work with the beautiful art of intentional camera movement with Scottish ICM photographer Shona, whilst learning how to translate your very own images onto canvas with Fee.

This unique and special experience will allow you to completely immerse yourself in the quiet solitude and tranquillity one gets from spending time by the sea. A treat for all the senses!

Expect to switch off from the real world for a few days, spend time with likeminded creatives and inspire your inner artist.
