Welcome to the Tuscany art retreat of your dreams! Join us for an unforgettable week of creative bliss and discovery as we immerse ourselves in the process of joyful art making. Whether you're a beginner or already an accomplished artist/crafter (or somewhere in the middle), this will be an opportunity for you to explore your creativity and growth in a guided and supported way.
We'll not only create one-of-a-kind mixed media paintings, but we'll also reach for the best parts of our creative potential through nurturing conversation, prompts, and art journaling. It'll be a week of making connections with like minded souls as we create side by side, enjoy leisurely Italian meals together, and explore the picturesque hillsides of Cortona -- a city steeped in a rich history of painting and architectural beauty. We'll even take a day trip to Florence where we'll wander through the markets and get inspired by the sights. Can you imagine it? Can you envision yourself feeling refreshed and inspired, ready to play, paint, and explore your creativity in Italy? As two vibrant and inspired painters with an enthusiasm for expression, color, art and travel, we'd love it if you joined us for this once in a lifetime journey to Cortona. Read more...
