Watercolor Workshop: Color and Light of Assisi
Instructor: Gavin Snider
Tuesday, July 15, 2025   -   Monday, July 28, 2025


Come paint with Gavin Snider in Assisi, Italy. Over the course of this workshop we'll approach the town's endless array of architectural subjects—basilicas and cathedrals to ancient Roman structures and medieval castles—painting on-site and from photo reference. Classes will be held both outdoors and in the studio, where we’ll tackle color and value, light and shadow, depth and perspective, and composing with negative space. Beyond architecture, we’ll cover still life, people, and landscapes. With Gavin as your guide, you’ll approach the blank page with energy, purpose, and intention. Material and supplies list available.

Gavin Snider is an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. He paints to slow down the world and to better understand the places and people around him. With a background in architecture, much of Gavin's work focuses on buildings and cityscapes. A few times a week he picks a location—whether a famous landmark or a far-flung neighborhood—packs up his supplies, and goes to paint. In a way, these paintings are a form of urbanism—the study of city life.

Gavin has created original artwork for a number of organizations, including the New York Yankees, Saturday Night Live, Netflix, Sony Music, the MTA and the NYC DOT. He's led painting and drawing workshops throughout New York City, in partnership with the Guggenheim Museum, McNally Jackson, Happy Medium, NYC Urban Sketchers, Drawing America, Art Toolkit and Juicebox NYC.
