THE IMPRESSIONISTIC FIGURE
in Florence, Italy
Saturday - Friday, May 25-31, 2019
Painting in oils or pastels from live models and photos.
In this one week studio workshop we will work from a live model and from our own photos from photo shoots with the model. You don't have to be an accomplished painter or pastelist; I will help you with the basics if you need that.
We'll have plenty of time for exploring, tasting and sipping in this magnificent Renaissance city that holds nearly a third of the world's art treasures. We’ll stroll the same cobblestone streets that Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli strolled.
We'll be staying in apartments in the Oltrarno section of Florence, minutes from the major landmarks but removed from the hustle and bustle of the crowded tourist section. You'll experience Florence like a native in an area known for its artisan shops and boutiques. On Day 5, we will retreat to the hill town of Fiesole to relax and enjoy its spectacular views and fresh breezes. We will visit the Etruscan/Roman ruins and the San Francesco monastery, dining, of course, the entire time in the Italian way.
Join us for a glorious week in Italy!
