Description:
Come join me for a painting experience in beautiful Tuscany! We will work on location, learning the fundamentals of watercolor and capturing the many moods of Spannocchia. We will have a grounds tour, where our hosts will introduce us to the facilities as well as the wonderful work that the organic, historic gardeners are dedicated to.
Previous painting experience is not necessary. You can acquire skills as you paint! The lessons will include a daily demonstration, painting lesson: ‘subject of the day’ and an evaluation/critique each afternoon. We can travel into nearby Siena and any other agreed upon local areas for day or ½ day painting explorations. You will complete at least one work each day, and maybe a few!
This is a ‘destination vacation’ where you will soak up the culture, the food, the historic surroundings as you work on your skill development with painting in watercolor!

Hi Doris:
I’ve e-mailed you a couple of times about the Tuscany workshop and did not hear back from you, so I thought that maybe my e-mail did not go through. I wanted to know if there is still room in your workshop. If you could also clarify the cost for single occupancy. From your information above if I convert 1,257.5 Euro, it’s about $1,700 which is more than double the cost that you’ve quoted for double occupancy. Is this correct?
Sincerely,
Jennifer Wells
