7 - DAY PAINTING COURSE
3rd to 10th October 2020
Come along for a one-week painting workshop in the beautiful Sicilian location of Taormina. Here you will have the opportunity to develop and learn new landscape painting techniques using acrylics, watercolour, and other drawing material while staying at the charming Villa Scimone. During the day, we will venture out around Taormina to paint, taking in the stunning Sicilian landscape. The inspiring location will create an atmosphere for relaxed and supportive critical discussion concerning your artwork. In the evenings we can continue our conversations while we will enjoy home cooked Italian food and local Etna wines on Villa Scimone’s expansive rooftop terrace.
