Plein-Air Painting / Photography Workshop

Taught by Niki Gulley & Scott Williams
Tuscany, Italy - September 2 -10 / 2011

Join us once more as our path takes us to the medieval towns, cypress tree lined roads and glorious sun drenched splendor of the rolling hills that is Tuscany in the fall.
Whether you are a painter or photographer, this unique workshop has been designed to allow you to hone your skills and expand your creativity, all while you further your artistic voice. Choosing which aspect interests you, we will help guide you to capture the architecture and breathtaking vistas flooded with their extraordinary quality of light, on either canvas or film.

Imagine the inspiration derived from strolling the narrow cobble streets of the hill towns or taking in the panoramic views from it’s outer walls as the sun sweeps across the landscape spread out before you. Start your own renaissance by standing in the shadows where the masters once painted, all while experiencing the grandeur of Tuscany first hand. Capture the rich fall colors offset against cobalt blue skies, the rows of earth hued vines, ripe with their succulent grape harvest, all while being warmed, literally, under a Tuscan sun.

Niki will conduct the Plein-Air Painting Workshop from different picturesque locations daily, teaching through a combination of demos, discussions, assistance and critiques. Sessions will be broken into different morning and afternoon locations, with plenty of time in between for shopping, sightseeing or to dine al fresco for a leisurely lunch.

Scott will take the photographers on a daily walking tour through the winding streets of the hills town and into the countryside surrounding them. You will have the opportunity to experience Tuscany through your lens as Scott guides you to use your camera to define what you see while achieving your own artistic vision. As with the painters, there will be daily destinations with time allowances for exploring on your own.

This unique Workshop affords you the option to choose which aspect interests you, whether it is painting, photography or both. Thereby giving you an opportunity to make the most of your Tuscan experience.

So come join us as we take you on an inspirational exploration of Tuscany with an emphasis on observation and perception as we help you develop your own style or just ride along to enjoy Italian countryside in fall, as artists and non-artists alike are welcome.
