Ciao Italia
Travel to Italy
Join me for a very special workshop painting in the Italian countryside of Tuscany! For one week you can experience what it is like to live on an Etruscan farm that dates back to the 11th century AD. Just minutes down the road is the medieval walled city of Siena. Tennuta de Spannochia is a bustling farm known for its Centa Sienese pigs, offers a true farm to table experience, and its own house made wine!
Each day there will be a demo followed by time to paint and sketch or have some free time to explore. I will offer instruction and critiques to guide you through the process. All mediums are welcome, but I will be working in oil. The class will learn how to produce informative field sketches that lead to successful finished pieces of art. There will be no lack of inspiration at this picturesque location.
Additionally, the class will have the chance to visit noteworthy cities, cultural sites, and also have some free time to explore these places on your own for a bit a as well. Tenuta de Spannocchia also has some exciting onsite classes that students could take advantage of during some of their free time.
