While I’m in Italy, I thought I would post some of the quick watercolor sketches I did the last time I was at La Romita School of Art back in 2008. This little piece shows the courtyard of the 15th century monastery where we stay. There is a wonderful old chapel, filled with old frescoes, that serves as our studio. We’ll each have a table to work on, space to store our supplies, and a wall to hang our new masterpieces. Nora Venturelli will also teach some classes there. In the last couple of decades, the owners have built a separate kitchen and dining building. On most days, all of the artists and other travelers will meet there for breakfast, lunch and dinner to enjoy delicious Umbrian cuisine created by 3 local cooks.
I’m bringing both my watercolor and oil paints to Italy this time. I am looking forward to learning oil techniques from Nora, an accomplished artist, and hope to do most of my work in that medium. But Nora mentioned that I might also be able to help some the watercolor artists who are joining us and I’m honored to be of assistance in that area too!
