• Is this fast-paced or relaxed? Both. Some sessions are quick and guided, built to get you unstuck fast. Others slow all the way down, like sketching at the castle through your character’s eyes. You get structure when you need it, and quiet space when you don’t.
• I haven’t drawn since school. Is this really for me? This retreat assumes you’re starting from “I’m curious about this,” not “I’m already good at this.” Adam has a lot of experience running workshops for multiple skill levels.
• What if I don’t know what my character should be?
  That’s part of Day Two. You will discover your character through playful exercises. And group interaction.
• What do I bring? A few personal photos or small objects for the shared mood board and papers for a collage kit (to be briefed before the event. Any spare art supplies you’re willing to contribute to a “preloved” supply table for the group.
• Do I need drawing or painting experience? No. This retreat is built for beginners and working artists alike. A material isn’t will be furnished before the retreat and there will be an option to have materials shipped to the retreat.
• What happens in my 1-on-1 with Adam? Whatever you want. Bring a project, a portfolio, or just questions. Sessions run 15 minutes each, spread across arrival, mid-week, and your free day, so they never eat into group time.
