Program and excursions

Intensive one week En Plein Air Painting Course by Tjasa IRIS.
Color theory. Slides of contemporary and modern art will be shown each evening.

Our painting workshop will be very intense. We will paint from 9 am to 1 pm  every morning, we will be visiting museums and exhibitions in the afternoon. We will meet again all together before dinner, and will see lots of slides of art history. One day painting excursion to colorful Burano Island.

Emphasis will be put on perception and observation, as the bases to painting. I will help you develop your personal outlook, as well as inspire your imagination in all this magical places and to help you appreciate art to the full. We will paint 4 hours every morning. You may work on sketches for the first few days, and than proceed

to more accomplished works derived from these last. Or you may simply paint two or three works a day. If for some reason, you want to wonder and explore the territory during  these days, you are pleased to do so. We will meet again in the evening, discuss the work done during the day and see numerous slides of contemporary and modern art. We will go on painting and art history excursions that you will be able to join:

Admissions are opened to 7 participants of all ages and levels .
I realize how important it is for you to travel light. I will provide all you need for your lessons: acrylic paints, brushes, canvases, paper,  French easels, chairs... (just if you wish to work in any different mediums, I ask you to bring your own paints).

Because the workshop is limited to 7 participants, I encourage you to send your enrolment form with deposit as soon as possible. In event of inclement weather, arrangements will be made for indoor painting. There will be no rain dates or refunds for inclement weather.

I encourage non painter partner to join us by offering them reduced rates.

The lessons will be contemporarily in English and Italian.
