FAQ
If I'm flying in, how do I arrange transportation to the retreat?
If you're flying in, we can coordinate and see if another participant is driving from RDU to the beach and see if they will meet you at the airport. Email courtney for more info. Courtney@delightfulartco.com
​
How do I get my artwork home if I'm flying?
You'll have 2 canvases that are 16 x 20 inches. You'll put paintings and drawings that were done on paper in between the canvasses and tape the canvases together. They fit into most suitcases. If you forget them or they don't fit, I can ship them, but it will cost $25, which you'll have to pay upfront. (And it takes me a while to get it done.)
​
What kind of art will we do?
Collage, drawing with charcoal, acrylics, and watercolor
