Lesley Rich Venice Painting Workshop 2009
VENICE PAINTING WORKSHOP
Instructed by Lesley Rich
Venice, Italy
September 14 - 24, 2009
Eleven days in Venice. Limited to fifteen students.
A wonderful painting opportunity.
I've reserved 8 rooms in a hotel in Venice
for September 14 through September 24, 2009.
It's a small hotel on a small canal that
just happens to be a popular route with
serenading gondoliers, certainly not fancy,
in fact, modest, but clean and the owners
are very, very nice. A perfect painting location
in the heart of Venice. The hotel has a terrace,
'perfetto' for a small group of painters to
get together at the end of
the day for a glass of wine and painting talk.
Years ago I spent five weeks in Venice painting and identifying locations
for a class and I guarantee that this "Paint Venice Experience" will be
exceptional in its genre ... breathtaking and diverse painting
locations, both in Venice proper and on the outer islands. Now every
year I return to this city, my favorite place on earth, sometimes
by myself, sometimes with a class. Venice can be a very crowded city
so part of the exercise is to stay away from the crowds when it is
possible. I've become expert at locating walkways that dead-end at
the Grand Canal and secluded residential areas for quiet canal
paintings and less visited spots for Venice sunsets and heart-stopping
skylines for Venice sunrises. I know where to board the vaporetto
to get a front seat, so you can ride, ride, ride, taking photographs
of the Grand Canal until your luggage can't hold any more film.
And then of course there is the art all around you in Venice, in every
church, on every building, around every corner. Venice IS art. Venice
respects art. Venice both diminishes and encourages the artist. But
it is an experience that every artist must have. Venice has my heart
and I am looking forward to sharing it with you.
The cost for ten nights, eleven days, tuition, lodging (double
occupancy) and daily continental breakfast is $1950.
