Rome is an architectural masterpiece with an intoxicating mix of classical ruins, extravagant Baroque churches and fountains and glorious Renaissance palaces. These historical landmarks are normally bathed in a special light in June.
Rome’s most famous monuments are located within the Centro Storico, which is traversed by the River Tiber. They include Michelangelo’s spectacular Piazza del Campidoglio, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and the Terme di Caracalla, most of which are now in splendid ruins. The Pantheon, Bernini’s Fountain of Quattro Fiumi, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are close by. The Vatican City lies across the River Tiber and is dominated by the massive dome of the Basilica di San Pietro.
I like to paint from dawn to dusk and will encourage you to make the most of your time in Rome and to produce lots of work. It should be an inspiring and fun experience, and I’m happy to share my knowledge with you, and for you to learn by example.
The River Tiber and most of the historical sites are within walking distance of our accommodation and the roof terrace of the hotel will be a great place to capture Rome’s extraordinary layers of history. This is a free-style painting programme that is best suited to experienced artists and confident intermediate students. I will be working in oils but all mediums are welcome.
