Tuscany
Study is pleased to announce its 2-week workshop this summer from June
10-24. This trip never ceases to be a magical experience for both
painters and sculptors. It is designed to expose participants to daily,
intensive instruction while immersed in an inspiring atmosphere.
Participants will develop their artwork while soaking up local culture,
cuisine, and the artistic treasures that fill our history books.
Enrollment is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. More
information can be found here.
This
summer Caitlin Hurd will join our roster of
accomplished painters who have taught landscape painting with Tuscany Study
(previous instructors include
John Jacobsmeyer and Alyssa Monks). Northern Tuscany, particularly the
region that shares proximity to both the mountains and sea, offers an extremely
vivid and lively painting environment where artists can find inspiration in the
variegated colors and textures of both rural and urban areas. Check out
the course description here and photos from past
trips.
Stephen
Shaheen will be teaching both beginners and advances students the lost art
of marble carving. This year, the studio has upgraded its
facilities to include eight new work stations, equipped with air hoses and
power supplies. The mountains where Michelangelo quarried his marble rise
in the distance above the balmy courtyard where we sculpt each day. And
there's nothing like sipping chilled vermentino white wine on the
Mediterranean at sunset after a long day of carving.
