Around every corner, over every graceful bridge is a magical composition waiting to be captured by you. Every artist must experience Venice at least once in a lifetime. The journey planned for you is the ultimate artist’s fantasy. You will fly to Venice where a private water taxi will pick you up for the trip across the lagoon to the dock of one of the most elegant hotels in all of Venice. This is the perfect location, only minutes from the very heart of the city.
Painting locations have been planned with care and attention not only to visual interest and variety, but also for the convenience of the artists. Some of the iconic scenes are included, of course, but we will also experience the quiet canals and charming campos seldom visited by tourists. Expect to walk in the footsteps of Sargent, Turner, and Whistler. We will have access to a very special location never before available to any group of artists. Paint for a day on Burano, the most colorful of all the islands in the Venetian lagoon. The houses here and their reflections in the canals will demand your entire palette of colors. Our own private boat will make the journey to the island convenient and relaxing.
One morning is planned for you to visit Murano to tour one of the factories making the most famous glass in the world. The afternoon is free. You may choose to find your own painting location, give in to some shopping or just relax.
From the welcome dinner to the final critique with cocktails, your experience in Venice has been designed to delight the artist in you and to inspire memories for a lifetime.
I will be teaching watercolor and Joe Anna Arnett will be along to teach in oils. You may want to continue on with us to southern Spain where Joe Anna will be host artist for Sol of Spain, September 21 - 30. From September 30 to October 9, we will teach in southwest France, in one of the most beautiful villages in the Lot River Valley.
