Accademia del Giglio in Florence

Drawing and painting “en plein air” This 2-day very intensive course will mainly take place outside in the heart of Florence, in its picturesque streets and besides the Renaissance buildings. Students will draw and paint for example in front of the ancient town hall, the Palazzo Vecchio, or on the unique “old bridge”, the Ponte Vecchio, or in Santa Croce square, where Dante’s statue overlooks all the passers-by, or even in some secluded and quiet areas of the historical Boboli garden.

Drawing and Painting Techniques in the Art studio This is a very in-depth course conceived for those artists who, while spending a week-end in Florence, wish to be immersed in the Renaissance atmosphere, drawing and painting together with other fellows under the supervision and guidance of our experienced Art teachers. During this course students will have the opportunity to try and practice various drawing and painting techniques, such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, water-colour, acrylic, oil.
