Exploring the Heart of Italy
Umbria, in the heart of Italy, is a region characterized by gorgeous mountains, valleys and medieval hilltop towns. It's the birthplace of the saints-- St. Benedict, St. Valentine, and of course, St Francis making Assisi a pilgrimage destination since the 13th century. But even with all these attributes it is still less touristy than its neighbour Tuscany though no less gorgeous.
This summer we are going to explore the hilltop villages of Umbria starting with Perugia. Situated on a hilltop in the Tiber Valley, Perugia offers stunning panoramic views of rolling green hills and the Apennine mountains.
Here we will enjoy our first workshop with expert gouache instructor, Gary Geraths. Even beginner artists will enjoy Gary's cheerful, relaxed instruction in the company of a small group of like-minded artists.
Then we're off the next day on a private coach to Orvieto with its medieval architectural charm, warren of narrow streets and impressive cathedral.
Next we will explore Civita di Bagnoregio, an ancient hilltop village founded by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago that can only be accessed by its pedestrian-only footbridge.
Next we will discover Spello, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, a town overflowing with window boxes and hanging baskets of flowers.
Our tour of the hilltop villages wouldn't be complete without making our own artistic pilgrimage to Assisi, a world heritage UNESCO site and the birthplace of St. Francis in 1180.
There's so much to sketch and paint! We're going to eat great Italian food, wash our soul in the beauty of the region and enjoy 5 great art classes with expert gouache artist, Gary Geraths. We hope you will join us. For more information click HERE.
