Unforgettable Holidays with Art Workshops and visits to Marche, Umbria and Tuscany for Lovers of Italy and Italian Art
If Art, Italian History, good food and wine are your passions, if a holiday with Art Workshops and visits to Artists Studios is what you are looking for, then the Fresco Painting course is the solution for you.
This tour is not necessarily for people with a certain amount of prior experience in practical art. Together with Ennio and the professional guidance of Lisa Tomassini (restorer of old paintings) and Elisa Gianfelici (docent at the Accademia di Belle Arti at Macerata Italy) you will create a real fresco mural, from the preparation of the underground to the actual painting 'affresco'. Lively lectures and guided visits with Art Historian Phaedra de Zeeuw to Urbino, Ascoli Piceno, Perugia, Florence and Siena.
Art Tours with art Workshops in Italy & Fun!
The Fresco Painting Course combines applied Art classes held by experts and Art Tours in Central Italy (Marche, Umbria and Tuscany). The ancient art of fresco painting dates back to Roman times and was brought to perfection during the Italian Renaissance. This luminous, clear, earthy technique challenges the artist with its spontaneity and transparency. There is plenty of time to paint and draw, but Italian food and culture are an integral part of these unforgettable 2 weeks holiday. There will be talks given on art history as a preparation for the excursions to magnificent fresco cycles that you will visit under the guidance of your hosts Ennio Barbieri and Phaedra de Zeeuw.
