Painting in Tuscany

TUSCANY FROLIC, May 2 – 12, 2018!
with René Eisenbart

This workshop is FILLED!

An art immersion experience of painting in Tuscany. You will lodge at a picturesque villa near the small town of Castelfiorentino. The rural setting of Ill Grande Prato is like a sanctuary, with great views, a pool and even an outdoor pizza oven!  One of the best things about this venue is that they’ll cook for us.  Plus they can accommodate a large group so you can bring your non-painting friends or family.

The train station in Castelfiorentino is 10 minutes by car or a 40 minute walk, giving us access to travel throughout the region. This new venue, about an hour from Florence, is close to San Gimignano and Volterra — two very charming destinations. We can shuttle you to the train station for excursions, take a cab or you may prefer to rent a car for complete autonomy.

You’ll have almost daily painting lessons in a dedicated classroom. Plan to experiment with new techniques and styles. Free time in the afternoons for pool time, more painting or walking about town.  While the workshop focus will be on painting, you’ll have the option of some all day excursions. Side trips can be planned before or after the workshop to see Florence, Cinque Terre or Venice. Or spend time in connecting cities such as Amsterdam.

THIS VIDEO will give you a better sense of our new setting — which is even more spectacular in person!
