Viv Walkington
I am an artist who is passionate about the natural world around us. Whether it`s landscapes, birds, or flowers, either painted in watercolour or created in layers of paper, I enjoy being both a painter and a crafter.
I find it rewarding to help others release their own unique creativity, to learn new ways of doing things and therefore move on with their own creative visions.
So, come and join us and be creative in the beautiful surroundings and the special atmosphere that is to be found at Penhurst.

Retreats led by Viv Walkington
July 2025
Monday - Friday
Watercolour Painting Retreat
Explore the surprising, and often unpredictable technique of `Wet in Wet` Watercolour painting, here in the beauty and tranquility of Penhurst. It`s a great way to be experimental with your compositions and any landscape, still life, or portrait will undergo transformation with this varied, and bold technique. With practice, you will master soft edges, interesting skies, and patterns that loosely suggest form in a semi abstract way, it is perfect for expressing quickly changing light, a special moment in time, and your excitement about what you see before you.
Residential price: £490.00
