Plein Air Workshop in June, 2010: Ten day course on using sight-size in plein air painting near Trevi, Umbria.
View of Trevi from the Bed & Breakfast.
The first plein air course for 2010 will be held in the area around Trevi in Umbria from May 31 to June 10 .
Trevi is a small hilltop town about 45 minutes south of Perugia overlooking the valley of the Teverone river. Its a place I have visited many times over the years and have always felt it to be one of the most picturesque areas in central Italy.
We will stay in a small bed and breakfast on the hills outside of the town in comfortable apartments. The cost of the course will be €1,600 (U.S.$2,235 at today’s rate) per person for lessons, lodging and meals. Spouses are welcome (there is a pool and spa) at a reduced rate. I will provide transportation during the course, though I’ve picked a spot where we won’t need to move around much to find views. Classes will be in two sessions per day and we will work on composition, color theory, sight-size plein air techniques, and general ideas on painting and art in general. The course is limited to ten people and some experience with oil painting is helpful.

A deposit of 30% will be required with your application, refundable up to 2 months before the course (or if I can fill your spot anytime after that). Payment can be made via check, wire transfer, or pay-pal.
The second workshop will take place in the small village of Pujols-sur-Dordogne (outside of Saint-Émilion) at a date still-to-be-decided. If you would like more information please drop me an email at courses@marcdalessio.com.
