May 3-10, 2008 with Kathy Busillo
OPEN ENROLLMENT UNTIL MAY 1ST..... A FEW SPOTS REMAIN
In the tradition of Sorolla, Sargent and Prendergast we will be painting the figure en plein air in Cortona, Italy. Simple scenes from everyday life are a long-standing tradition of the plein air painter. Picture yourself standing under the sun in Tuscany painting with a local model posed before a vineyard or within an olive grove. Other painting sessions will be in and around town where scenes of people going about their daily business abound. A day trip is planned for Florence and the Uffizi Gallery, with emphasis on viewing paintings with the figure in the landscape. Another day will be spent in Siena painting its residents and guests.
*All-inclusive plans, other options available.
