Capturing Tuscany En Plein Air

I am excited to return to and share this wonderful region of Italy. Our Tuscany workshop can be a great introductory plein air class for newbies as well as for painters wanting to take their skills to the next level. All mediums are welcome. 

This fun, easy-going workshop will include:

• A few days to explore Florence, Italy
• 5 nights in an amazing Tuscan resort villa.
• Day trip to Medieval Siena to sketch, take photos, explore, and shop
• Excursions to nearby hilltowns like Gaiole, Castellina, Monteriggioni, etc.
• Winery tour and tasting
• Optional cooking class
• Variety of plein air locations to paint landscapes, villages, and the Tuscan light.
• Small, intimate sized workshop group.

The instruction will include:

• Easy painting progressions.
• Dealing with changing light.
• Nailing those values and compositional choices.
• Intentional color mixing and palette management.
• Finishing a painting in a short amount of time.
• Demonstrations and lots of helpful guidance.
• Instruction in oils, but all mediums and all levels of expertise are welcome.
• Having a GREAT time!
