EASEL & LENS

MAY 3-9, 2025
7-DAY PAINTING & PRINTMAKING RETREAT

After a very successful and popular PAINTING & PRINTMAKING course in 2024, Easel&Lens is back to offer you the chance to leave with a beautiful and personal etching of your own in a week. The rather unique course has been designed carefully with each day having specific tasks - starting with our research on day one touring local hilltop towns and countryside of this beautiful area of the Umbrian/Tuscan borders, photographing or drawing to give each of us something personal to work with. The following day we will be working our sketches into designs and preparing either our painting or an etching plate. After that, this will be a daily workshop, all of us working together, and dividing our time between studio time, art and cultural visits, lunches, trips to local towns, aperitivi and dinners out, or simply relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Italian Renaissance gardens of our Villa. We will set up the studio in the expansive and historic cantinas of our Villa for the week.
