Among the goals for these workshops will be for the participants to relax, live and paint in Tuscany for the week. The workshops will be structured with 3 full days of instruction, 1/2 day of instruction with the afternoon free, and 2 mentoring days. On the mentoring days, the group can choose to paint alongside the instructor or at another location. On these special days, there will be late afternoon group critiques.
The accommodations for the workshop will be in apartment-style lodging at a family-owned agriturismo with each participant housed in their own private bedroom. Most bathrooms are private as well. The apartments and property are charming and comfortable, completely updated and well-maintained. The agriturismo is located in the heart of the Val D'Orcia region of Tuscany. Among other things, the grounds of the agriturismo include a vineyard, olive grove and vegetable garden, as well as many other places to set up an easel and make great paintings.
This area is full of wonderful things to see and do. Close by there are a number of beautiful hilltowns including Pienza, Montepulciano, San Quirico D'Orcia and Montalcino. There will be opportunity for optional excursions.
