Paint in Tuscany – Tony Bianco Workshop

September 8-17 2008

This workshop will increase your painting skills, and inspire you through the beauty of Italy’s landscape.  Painting on location, we will explore light, color, and composition.  Challenge your abilities, and learn to see again in the mountains of Tuscany’s Garfagnana region.  Tony has painted this area and selected it for this workshop because of its unique beauty.  Join us for a trip you will always remember – every time you paint!

What is included;

• 8 days of instruction at the mill, local villages and day trip locations. (1^st day arrival, and last day will be travel days, with orientation, critiques.)
• Accomodation at the mulino di casciana, a private, restored mill villa complete with pool.  This is not a hotel, but an authentic rural property that has been updated for tourists.  There are single, but mostly double rooms, shared bathrooms (3),and kitchens(2).  We have worked with the owner before, and were impressed.  This location is very suitable for painting.  It is rural, so you will have to drive.       You can view it at;

• One two- course evening meal per day, consisting of local food and wine. 

What is not included;

• Airfare
• Car rental – this can be arranged in groups to cut costs, or you may rent individually.
• Breakfasts and lunches will not be catered, but we can shop locally and work together.  This is the best way to operate when working on location.
• Art supplies/equipment.  It is best to bring your own equipment, a detailed list will be provided.
• You will be responsible for your transportation to and from the villa, and to various locations in the area.  Entrance fees, etc. are not included.   Once a student list is established, we can work together on car rentals and travel arrangements.

The cost for the workshop is $2500.00, plus applicable GST, with a non- refundable* deposit of $500.00. (*If we can re-sell your space, we will refund your deposit)

As this is a limited space workshop,  you will need to confirm your space early.  Call or email if you have any questions or special requirements.  We will be happy to discuss your needs.
