DRAWING AND PAINTING COURSES IN TUSCANY

Halfway between Florence and Rome and not far from Siena and Perugia, the Valdichiana is a strategic position for the Tuscan artistic itineraries . Leonardo da Vinci, who became directly acquainted with the area, studied its morphology and described and reproduced it in dated and signed designs. In the background of some of his paintings, such as the Mona Lisa, some art critics recognise parts of tuscan countryside.                      

ARTuscany offers you the opportunity to practise your drawing and painting in such an environment!

COURSE DETAILS

We recommend the Drawing course to those who approach this technique for the first time and it is aimed to: real-life charcoaldrawing using the proportional method and study of chiaroscuro; study of real-life composition; copy from the great masters (portrait study); study of Tuscan landscape, pastel technique outline.

The Drawing and Painting course includes an introduction to (or a review of) the drawing techniques such as real-life charcoal drawing using the proportional method and study of chiaroscuro and study of real-life composition as well as copy from the great masters (portrait and figure)and study of Tuscan landscape. Besides, it offers the opportunity to learn the use of WATERCOLOUR or TEMPERA, with study of real-life compositions and Tuscan landscape and for the most advanced even the copy from great masters.
