ONLY 2 SPACES REMAINING As we enter our eleventh year in Bagno Vignoni, Tuscany, we continue to produce a plein air-painting program that will engage the artist with respect to the landscape and planned painting exercises. The artist will come away from this experience well versed in landscape painting techniques and will have also seen the very best Tuscany has to offer. Our guests will stay in Pope Pio II’s summer Villa built in the 15th century and which is now a charming three star hotel serving incredible Tuscan food. All rooms have private baths. There are not a lot of tourists; it truly is an artist’s retreat.

Constructive critiques are held daily and a final critique of all paintings occurs on the last day of the Workshop. We only take 10 to 12 painters at a time allowing for a more personal approach to your painting experience. Of course, those newly discovered artists receive a little more guidance.
