You are warmly invited to join me for a special painting week in the
old village of Brunate set 700m above Lake Como. Brunate has incredible
views on the Alps and looks directly at Monte Rosa. From the village
there are hikes up or down the mountain.
We will paint each
morning and afternoon using mainly watercolours. The workshop will focus
on the use of colour. Our house, where the workshop will be based, has a
splendid garden with many trees that can provide shade and a large
terrace where we can paint outside. There is also a nearby gymn
overlooking the lake and mountains where we can work.
There will
be plenty of time to enjoy visiting the town of Como and to take a boat
ride on the lake to visit the famous gardens of Villa Carlotta, an ideal
place to paint. There will be a free afternoon when you can visit
Bellagio, or the nearby picturesqe villages of Cernobbio and Torno.
Please take into consideration that places are limited to 10 people only.
