The Color and Mysteries of Assisi
Instructor: C. Finley
Thursday, June 27, 2024   -   Wednesday, July 10, 2024


Spend two magical weeks in Assisi, Italy the home of Saint Francis, and explore the charming region of Umbria while creating a visual diary of all that Italy has to offer. In this painting workshop the landscape and mysteries of Assisi will be our muse as we create vibrant art together. Working both in the studio and outdoors participants will discover the transformational experience of painting with emphasis on the unique color and light of the region. Be inspired by the beauty and richness of Assisi as well as its art and history where your artistic practice will be nourished. All are welcome to join the workshop, no experience necessary. Supply list available.

This workshop also open to independent artists who want to work on their own with access to class participation.
