Watercolor Workshop
An in-depth approach to the watercolor technique, a full immersion in the soft and delicate colors of the Florentine buildings, a study of light tones along the river Arno and its historical bridges.
This workshop is meant not only for beginner students, but also for those experienced students who are determined to improve and enrich their portfolio.
Classes will be held both in our studio and outside and they will aim at teaching the secrets and tricks of the watercolor painting, besides enhancing the student’s creativeness and skills through several tests on different kinds of papers (i.e.: dry paper, wet paper and sponged paper).
This 5-day workshop will start on Monday morning and will end on Friday afternoon, for a total amount of 32 hours of tuition, which will include a one-day excursion (approximately 8 hours of en plein air lessons) in the Tuscan countryside.

Since 1995 all our courses have taken place in the school premises and have been held by our qualified and experienced teaching staff. We are not a school selling courses which afterwards other schools or institutes take charge of. That is why we offer only a selected choice of courses, whose programmes and schedule have been tested and improved throughout these years.
