Painting starts with conscious observation. The painter perceives shapes, colours, lights and shades and reproduces them on paper or canvas. Let yourself be captivated by the magic of Tuscany - the soft light, the rolling hills, the subtle geometry of the cypress avenues and the constantly changing expressions, so uniquely combined to inspire the wish to take it all in and translate it into painting. During these courses, held by experienced artists, you will be guided towards various techniques of seeing, drawing, and painting, encouraging you to develop your own style.
