During this workshop, you will be personally interpreting this lovely town and the stunning surroundings, in your watercolour sketchbook and also through larger paintings in watercolour and/or mixed media. (The mixed media supplies will be shared and shipped to the school ahead of time).
In the mornings you will spend some time sketching and painting in a different location in the town in your sketchbooks. After a relaxing lunch and siesta time, you will return to paint and sketch in the studio. You will also want to spend some time gathering inspiration for these afternoon paintings from the town and the surroundings in your sketchbook. Evenings will include sharing and discussing the day's work, dinner (always at 8 pm), followed by a passeggiata (leisurely stroll) and the nightlife that Casole d'Elsa has to offer.
You will also have the optional opportunity to visit the nearby towns of Volterra, Siena and San Gimignano during the workshop.
