Painting holidays in Tuscany and Umbria.Set in the inspiring Tuscan and Umbrian countryside, Artist in Italy is offering painting holidays for people who love art, Italy, good food and wine. The week-long painting and drawing courses have been carefully designed for both beginners and intermediate artists who would like to improve their skills and techniques. "It was my dream to live in Italy and run painting holidays and, after 3 years of searching Tuscany and Umbria I'm here, having travelled hundreds of dusty miles on hot white roads to find the house that has become my home. The rustic stables have now been converted into beautiful rooms and an art studio and we are ready for our first residential courses. In short, after many years of teaching Art in England, I bundled the wife, the kids, the cat and the cash into the car and began my mid-life crisis. Artist in Italy is a family-run business. I am Julian, and do all the teaching, as well as running the painting workshops. My wife is called Mandy; she does everything else. We have two small children, a dog, and a couple of cats.
My studio is always friendly and relaxed and I have over 15 years experience teaching students of all ages and abilities
My aim is to inspire you and to build your confidence in a range of methods, both traditional and modern, and to ensure that you leave here having had a wonderful experience." |
