Learn with me

New to watercolour—or finding it harder than you expected? You’re welcome here.

I’m Faye, and I’ll help you build confidence through small, achievable paintings and clear, step-by-step lessons. Together, we’ll explore simple sketches, pen and wash, watercolour, and those tricky bits like knowing how much water to use.

You don’t need to be confident at drawing to begin. Use the traceable I provide or try sketching alongside me, and enjoy learning one tiny painting at a time.

Tiny painting gives big confidence.

Tiny Art Retreats

🇬🇷 Santorini, Greece — 1st–7th October 2027

Imagine spending six beautiful days exploring Santorini, slowing down, sketching the little details and turning the moments we collect into tiny watercolour paintings.

We’ll experience the island first — its views, villages, colours, cafés and coastline — then make time to sit together and capture those memories in our Tiny Visual Diaries.

Bookings are open

Santorini Retreat FAQs

  • Absolutely. Solo travellers are very welcome.

  • No — it’s designed to suit beginners as well as more experienced painters.

  • Yes — they can still enjoy the trip and the wider Santorini experience.

  • Small watercolours inspired by Athens and Santorini, with relaxed painting sessions rather than long intensive classes.

  • Around 1–1.5 hours, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the island and the rest of the itinerary.

  • Accommodation, organised experiences, selected meals, itinerary transport, your Art by FSL painting sessions and an Art by FSL travel painting kit.

  • Flights and travel insurance.

  • Early bird: $3,555 per person for the first 8 bookings.
    Standard price: $3,705 per person.

  • 25% — approximately $888 at the early-bird price — with TrovaTrip’s payment plan available.

  • 3 July 2027.

  • Minimum 8, maximum 24 travellers.

  • I will be providing a tiny travel kit including a Tiny Visual Diary, mini paint palette and brush, but if you have any favourite brushes or paints you can bring those as well.

  • Yes — this is meant to feel like a holiday and creative experience, not a week-long art course.

  • If you’re feeling nervous about coming alone, you definitely won’t be the only one.

    Many people join creative retreats without knowing anyone beforehand, and that can feel like a big step. The lovely thing is that everyone is arriving with something in common from the very beginning — a love of creativity, travel and slowing down to enjoy the little moments.

    There will be plenty of relaxed opportunities to get to know each other through our painting sessions, meals and shared experiences, but there’s no pressure to be “on” all the time. You’ll also have space to enjoy Santorini at your own pace.

    My aim is to create a warm, welcoming group where you feel comfortable whether you arrive with a friend or completely on your own.

    And by the end of the week, I hope it feels a lot less like travelling with strangers and much more like sharing a very special experience with a little creative community.

  • Through the TrovaTrip booking page.

  • Yes! Closer to the retreat, I’ll create a private WhatsApp group for everyone booked onto the trip.

    It’ll be a lovely way for us all to start getting to know one another before we arrive in Santorini, ask questions, share travel plans and generally feel a little more connected and supported ahead of the trip.

    I’ll be in the group too, so if anything comes up or you’re feeling unsure about something, you’ll have somewhere easy to ask. 💙

    My hope is that by the time we all meet in Santorini, it already feels like we know each other a little.

Your tiny paintings have completely changed the way I practise. They're achievable, relaxing and I've improved so much by painting little and often.
