September Plein Air Course in Maremma
My painting of the Marsiliana from eleven years ago. 100 x 70 cm
After the success of our Trevi plein air workshop, Daniela Astone and I have decided to do a second course in Maremma (near the coast in southwestern Tuscany). As with Trevi the area is one of the more picturesque in Italy and one of my favorite places to paint. We will stay in the Marsiliana, a stunning castle/hamlet perched on a hill and near enough to the coast for day trips to the beach. It’s an area where I have already scouted extensively over the years, and I had a painting breakthrough of my own there 11 years ago so the place has a sentimental value to me.
Update: The course is now full, but Daniela and I will do more next year.
Hi Marc,
I’m enjoying your blog – “a painting breakthrough” sounds interesting – what did it consist in?
Jon
Hi Jon, by painting breakthrough I just mean that I painted a much larger, more complicated subject, than I had ever painted before. And it was much more successful as an image than anything I had painted up until that point.
