At the Winter Art Escape, break free to the warm sun for a week of plein air painting with PleinAir Magazine Publisher, Eric Rhoads. Join us February 6-13, 2026 in Hilton Head, SC & Savannah, GA and enjoy a week of sun, paint, and pure relaxation.
Winter Art Escape: A Week Just for You
A week of inspiration and painting in the Lowcountry’s most picturesque settings.
Leave your daily routine behind—no deadlines, no distractions, just painting. This is your opportunity to immerse yourself in a week dedicated entirely to your creativity.
Picture waking up to the salty breeze of the Atlantic, enjoying breakfast with fellow artists, and spending your days painting the charming streets of Savannah, Georgia, and the serene coastal landscapes of Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Capture the essence of historic squares, moss-draped oaks, sunlit marshlands, and sandy shorelines.
Evenings are for relaxation—delicious Southern cuisine, lively conversation, and time to reflect on your work. Daily, optional art displays allow you to share your progress and connect with others in a welcoming and supportive setting. Just bring your smile, paint gear, and transportation, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Here’s what makes the Winter Art Escape different:
- Daily painting adventures at breathtaking coastal locations (we provide the map and agenda)
- Unforgettable friendships with artists who “get” your obsession with light and color
- Optional show-and-tell each evening to share your work (if you want)
- Evening portrait painting and live music to end each day on a high note
- Everything included: your room, all meals, painting agenda, and access to special painting locations
This isn’t a workshop, with critiques and pressure. It’s a fun-filled week where you get to be fully immersed in the kind of painting that makes you feel alive. All you have to do is show up and paint.
