    Dates for Painting Holiday in Italy

    Course Structure

    Artists are welcome to set their own agenda, and no part of the holiday is compulsory.

    Days begin with a lesson/demonstration highlighting a particular aspect of painting, and incorporating exercises to help artists use the tools, free up the hand and to give confidence. The morning continues with free painting using the lessons learnt.

    In the afternoon the artists can try out new media or continue with work started on previous days. We can also set up a longer painting which can be worked on at the same time each day so the light is the same(ish).

    • Day 1Form and line
    • Day 2Perspective and measuring
    • Day 3Tone
    • Day 4Colour
    • Day 5Composition and Abstraction
    • Day 6 – We pull it all together and finishoff/create masterpieces

    Materials & Kit

    We provide all the materials and equipment that you will need to enjoy your painting or drawing holiday

     

    For working in the studio we have studio easels and for work around the property and on trips out we provide portable easels and stools.

    We have all the materials and equipment necessary for the major mediums, oil, watercolour, pastel, acrylic and gouache. If there is anything else you like to use, or would like to try, just let us know and I’ll get it in.

    You will also receive one of our handmade, monogrammed sketchbooks (it’s a little hobby of mine).

    Maureen Whittaker, Australia

    (for all the Austalians) Loved it from start to finish …. Your home reminds me of mine in many ways but my menus will have to improve if I’m to keep us with Andrea’s wonderful cooking. I’ll tell all my friends about this course so you can spread the love.

    What a wonderful week of painting, fine dining and warm hospitality… Everyday has been amazing! A new vista to sketch, or paint (and photograph). I could have stayed here for longer. Arrivederci, I hope to return next year.
