Our Next Adventure!

Italy 2024 Le Marche!

October 22-27, 2024

  click here for details

https://www.italianatours.com/carmen-gardner-tour

Locals say, “Le Marche is a place that’s undiscovered for Americans.  It’s a little gem off the classic tourist route where agriculture, artisanship and local life are in perfect rhythm.”

A land of endless vineyards, green rolling hills, picturesque medieval towns, natural parks and home to the UNESCO Renaissance city of Urbino, Le Marche Italy is an Italian region you'll want to add to your Italy bucket list immediately . . . Home to exquisite food and wine, and some incredibly stunning vistas, don't miss Le Marche!

The magic and inspiration that is Italy  in the fall will come to life in the enchanting area of Le Marche.  Painting participants will learn a variety of techniques in both water color and/or oil as we explore the infinite possibilities for creative expression.

 

A serene setting, glorious vistas, delightful folks and a long and interesting history will guide us through our unforgettable adventure as we visit local hill towns ( including a trip to Assisi), forage for truffles, experience the National Truffle Festival . . .  we'll also sample incredible wines, enjoy a cooking class, snap numerous reference photos, and form new friendships.

 

In the Le Marche studio (should you wish to paint) you’ll be encouraged to portray what you love as your instructor guides you and assists you through any “rough spots,” OR you can follow along with step-by-step, if you choose (all levels)  . . . paint plein aire or even just take reference photos to use at home in your studio!

 

Fall in love with Le Marche as we discover why so many artists both past and present return time and again for inspiration and ambience.  

This workshop will be taught by award-winning artist, Carmen Gardner.
Our painting days will be combined with other adventures such as:
    •    Day trips to incredible and historic sites, take photos, explore and shop
    •    Variety of plein air locations to paint landscapes, villages, and the Tuscan light
    •    A cooking class of Italian cuisine with a local chef

 

After excursions we’ll return each evening to relax in our country manor to enjoy a glass of wine and an informal critique of the day’s work or Q & A discussions that include history of the area, art and culture. Then we will move to a local restaurant recapping the day’s adventure with good company.  The folks at Italiana Tours are known for hosting firsts class workshops filled with memorable experiences for everyone, painter or non-painter, JOIN US!

The Borgo (hamlet) of San Fedele is an architectural site formed by a romanesque church (mentioned since 1203 in the “lodo di Poggibonsi” which defined the territories of the Republics of Siena and Florence), a sixtheen century chapel, a parsonage and a detached rural building. The overall U-shaped site embraces a large courtyard. The six year restoration employed natural materials and ancient techniques to maintain the historical significance of the site. The Ministry of Fine Arts has recognized Borgo San Fedele as an architectural site of great historic and environmental interest. Today it is classified as a Historic Residence.

PASTEL PAINTING SIMPLIFIED


A weekend with internationally renown pastel artist Stan Sperlak.

 

February 7-9, 2014

Maui, Hawaii


Stan says, "So much of what I teach is about light, drama, depth, movement and I push the motivational side of art lecturing, empowering."

Stan has taught in Australia, Hungary, Italy, France & Scotland and just returned from teaching in Iceland this summer. His teaching style is very motivational, inspiring and easy to comprehend. No gimmicks, just great direct painting.

Whether the subject is the sea, sky, mountains or plains, his approach to the landscape and his simplification of it is to be commended. With segues into art history and local natural wonders, Sperlak is able to truly engage the student, and bring out the most in the shortest time.
