Drawing and Watercolor Workshop in the Heart of Florence
Overview
The experience is for you who would like to discover Florence with a brush in your hand see the city through new eyes sketching, painting and discover what Florence looks like through an artists lens.
Being in Florence means surrounded by art, if you are a creative soul and would like to be creative yourself or you kids would like to create their own masterpieces this course is for you.
The course is also for you who would like to get you sketchbook started, or simply dust off old drawing/painting skills.
In case of rain or bad weather we'll be on a covered terrace with a fantastic view.
The course is for all levels, both beginners and more experienced. My way of teaching is very individual and we'll start from your level and step by step progress from there.
We are mostly sitting on stairs or standing during the class so please let me know in advance if you have special needs and I would schedule the class so that we'll go to a place where we can site down during the session.
What's Included
- I'll bring all materials for the workshop. You just have to show up :)

What To Expect
This is an outdoor activity inspired by the beauty of Florence and we will see what the city looks like through an artist’s lens.
During the class we'll get in touch with both drawing and watercolor.
I will be next to you during the whole session with useful tips on composition, perspective, light and shade, color mixing, trying out different techniques and materials and working step by step to create your own "masterpieces".
Don't worry if you have booked a rainy day. In case of rain or bad weather the class will take place on a covered terrace with a fantastic view to the Dome of Florence. It is difficult to give an exact address of where the activity will take place as it very much depends of the weather.
We mostly site on stairs during the workshop so let me know if it is to hard for you and I'll make sure we go to a place with chairs and tables.
The activity is wheelchair friendly but it's very important to inform me in advance, in order to prepare the session to full fill all needs.
I will bring all what we need of materials during the class.
