Leopoldo's original style

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!
