AT
THE TUSCAN COUNTRYHOUSE ALONG THE
ROWS OF CYPRESS TREES
We arrange half-day private painting
classes in Tuscany at our painter's
workshop near Peccioli, a picturesque
village about 35 minutes from Pisa
or 1 hour from Florence. The setting
is a wonderful and typically Tuscan
country house in a hilly area
adorned by a small road bordered
by cypress trees.
Our artist is Leopoldo, a famous
Tuscan painter who developed a
very personal and original style
through decades of career.
Leopoldo is very skillful not only
at painting but also at sharing his
wise views about life. He is a patient
teacher and a very friendly and
welcoming person.
THE
VIEW FROM THE GARDEN
You can choose
to have the lesson in the garden
of the house or in the workshop
by bad weather conditions. If you
want you can also walk in the surrounding
hills until you find the best
location for your inspiration.
We will bring any brushes, paint or
canvasses to your favorite spot of
inspiration. The artist first gives
you a demonstration and then helps
you plan your creative idea before
teaching you how to deal with colors.
The subject of the lesson can be the
panorama in front of you, a
portrait or a still nature.
The painting class is set up according
to your previous knowledge and can
be personalized if you are
interested in any particular technique
or specific material.
Regardless
of where you choose to paint, your
finished artwork will be your unique
and personal souvenir of Tuscany.
LUNCH IS READY!
Ada, Leopoldo's partner, runs a shop
of local specialities in the neaby
town Peccioli. She will arrange a
wonderful pick-nick for you
in the garden of the house with very
tasty Tuscan cold cuts, selected cheese,
delicious organic bread and of course
excellent wine!
