About the Workshop

The workshop will address two kinds of landscape painting:

• A Two-Day Planned Painting (First drawing, then painting), with a focus on scale, composition, light and layering of transparent paint.
• A One-Day “alla Prima” painting, with a focus on a wet-into-wet technique and the use of a limited palette.

This workshop is open to painters of ALL levels. One-to-one instruction will be tailored to each participant’s ability and interest.

Location

The weekend workshop will take place on site at the medieval mountaintop fortress known as Rocca Calascio in the Apennine mountains in Abruzzo.
