The focus for the week will be the plein air workshop.  This fascinating city filled with visual and sensual stimulation will be our home for painting every day. Everywhere you look there will be opportunities for plein air subjects from the architecture to the lively squares, the reflections on the canals and the faces at the cafes. There will be plenty of time for painting, discussions and critiques with a few optional excursions planned to give participants an opportunity to explore the art, food and culture of this truly magnificent city.
 

During the week they will organize optional visits to museums and current art exhibits, as well as have a guided tour of some of the famous Titian's, Tintorettos and Tiepolos that are at home in this city. Venice is incomparable. Whether you have been there a dozen times or never, it is sure to fill you with inspiration. And there is no better way to absorb this unlikely setting than by examining it closely with an artist's eye.

Intermediate/advanced, limited to 12 students.
