These are real Art Crash courses, meant for those who have little time to concentrate on one or more artistic techniques. Very small classes or individual lessons are held both in English and in Italian over the weekends. Students can take their courses either in our Art studio or in the squares and streets of Florence.
Drawing and painting “en plein air”
This 2-day very intensive course will mainly take place outside in the heart of Florence, in its picturesque streets and besides the Renaissance buildings. Students will draw and paint for example in front of the ancient town hall, the Palazzo Vecchio, or on the unique “old bridge”, the Ponte Vecchio, or in Santa Croce square, where Dante’s statue overlooks all the passers-by, or even in some secluded and quiet areas of the historical Boboli garden. Furthermore, in our studio learners may also concentrate on the study of perspective drawing as well as on the creation of natural light effects in their paintings. Our Art teachers will help students to develop their observation abilities while reproducing both a natural landscape and an architectural structure.

Drawing and Painting Techniques in the Art studio
This is a very in-depth course conceived for those artists who, while spending a week-end in Florence, wish to be immersed in the Renaissance atmosphere, drawing and painting together with other fellows under the supervision and guidance of our experienced Art teachers. During this course students will have the opportunity to try and practice various drawing and painting techniques, such as graphite, charcoal, pastel, water-colour, acrylic, oil. Subjects may vary following the preference of every single participant, from still life to portrait and model. In accordance with weather conditions, part of the course can also be dedicated to en plein air sessions in the ancient squares and gardens of Florence, or along the Arno river, where the glittering water meets with the harmonious lines of the Renaissance buildings.
