Plein-Air Watercolor Painting Workshop in Tuscany - September 2-10, 2024

Spannocchia Farmhouse- Watercolor on Paper

Overview:

I invite you to join my upcoming workshop at Spannocchia, an 1,100 acre working organic farm located in the heart of Tuscany. It was once a writers’ and artists’ retreat and is the perfect place for painting immersion. We will be spending our days plein-air painting at locations around this picturesque estate whose origin dates back to the 12th century. Each day we will enjoy delicious, home-style Italian meals. The pace of life and the quintessentially Italian landscape are sure to make this painting workshop memorable. For more information on Spannocchia. This year will mark my fifth year teaching workshops at Spannocchisa.Click on the link Website

Workshop Information

I have found watercolor to be both a sketching and painting medium and because of this, basic drawing skills are requirement for this class, though it is open to all watercolor skill levels. Daily plein-air sessions will take place around Spannocchia and in the Museo studio. There will be daily demonstrations focusing on both how to see and compose landscapes and employ concepts of color, form, value, and other techniques that are useful to successful landscape painting. Individual and group feedback will be offered. There will be a one-day painting field trip at location near Siena.
