TUSCANY WORKSHOP & TOUR
A botanical workshop and tour of a lifetime!
May 29 – June 13, 2010
Instructors: Margaret Saul (School Director, botanical artist and teacher living in Tuscany) and Kandy Vermeer Phillips (Brookside Gardens faculty, botanical artist and illuminator).
Give yourself the luxury of botanical art immersion in this beautiful countryside where your commute to class is a five-minute walk through the grounds of a hotel with a bella vista and where your only concern is choosing the flowers you wish to draw and paint ready for your little jewel of an illumination inspired by the work of Renaissance artists in Siena. Instruction is cleverly designed to accommodate beginners and experienced artists. Join an artists’ gathering to meet Italian botanical artists. Bring your travel sketchbook to take on quiet woodland trails on the farm around the hotel, and on the tour of Tuscany and Umbria the following week, one made all the more enjoyable by the camaraderie that is sure to develop from sharing this wonderful experience with fellow students.
