Fresia Studios offers 6 and 10-day oil painting workshops on Lake Como, Italy, from April thru October. The method used is the precise method handed down from teacher to student that begins with Monet and Sargent and passes on through such artists as Henri, Hawthorne, and Brackman. In addition to �how to� techniques, emphasis is placed upon the philosophy that encourages each student to discover his/her vision and to make art as opposed to pictures. The firm foundation helps the student to move forward once the workshop has concluded.
Structured classes require the student to break the painting process down into stages that enable one to see and understand line, tone and color. Students work only from nature with a good deal of the painting taking place �en plein-air� on the lake�s shore or within the ancient and romantic village of Lenno.
The workshop package includes 5 hours of instruction each day, lodging at Castel de Herra or a 4-star hotel, daily breakfast, welcoming cocktails, some dinners, and access to our online course.
Classes are open to artists with any level of painting experience.
