International Landscape Painting Workshop in Puglia, Southern Italy by artist
Tjasa Iris
This
area of Italy is less known than for example other Tjasa's workshop locations
as Tuscany or Venice. Due to that, this workshop normaly also has less crowd,
less participants. You can almost expect private lessons! But even if you
will be just in two persons, Tjasa will not cancel the workshop as this is
her favorite workshop location after all! And she loves to come to this part
of Italy and as well to revisit the wonderful family De Miccholis Angleini
that is owning the Masseria Salamina, and that you will have a chance to get
to know, too. Next year it will be 9 years since Tjasa is holding her workshops
at this location! So, she knows quite well this wonderful and misterious part
of Italy.
Tjasa's
workshops are designed for you not just to learn painting, but also to get
to know the country you are visiting. Its culture, history and cuisine. For
this reason, the program is designed for you to paint 4 hours per day and
after that as well to participate at town feasts, local markets, archaeological
sites... and to enjoy the wonderful cuisine of Puglia, that will be prepared
for you in a form of a four course fancy complex traditional dinners at Masseria
Salamina.

the rest of Europe is still in cold winter time, almond trees are
flourishing at splending 17 century fortified Castle "Masseria
Salaminaina".

In March and April grass is light green and
high and there is light overtaking sweet perfume of
flowers everywhere.

For
those joining us in September, we will also be able to use
the swimming pool at Masseria Salamina and we will go painting
to the beach and fishman villages.

There will be lots of inspiring scenes
for you to paint.
Masseria Salamina is ideal place for you to enjoy a holiday out in the
countryside with good natural food and the pleasure of living, as in old times.
This old fortified farm was built in the year 1600 and has 17 acres of land
situated in the middle of secular olive trees. It has been rebuilt with care
to offer accomodation in a rural style; the restaurant offers a homely atmosphere
and you can taste traditional food from Puglia.
You
can also buy farm products from Masseria Salmina's own production as olive
oil, jams..... For more information you can visit their site: www.masseriasalamina.it
