Civita is only accessible by foot, and because there are no cars, it makes the town a wonderful medieval-feeling pedestrian-only zone...great for claiming a spot to sketch!
Here are photos from the workshops...5+ days of small groups, long days of sketching, great meals, beautiful scenery, and a day trip to the Villa Lante Italian Renaissance garden. All in all, pretty great.
Sketching just inside the main gate, the Porta Santa Maria. |

Piazza sketches...and that is my watercolor set up in the upper left-hand corner. |

The first workshop group getting ready to paint...thank you, Winsor & Newton for the sponsorship with new tubes of watercolor paint! |
Lunch break where we soaked out feet to cool off at the Villa Lante. |
Second workshop group enjoying a wonderful dinner at Alma Civita!! Thank you, Maurizio, Rochi! Love that orange/rosemary tiramisu! |
Group at the Villa Lante, standing in front of a long stone table that is a fountain, and yes, it was used for meals! |
Wonderful dinner at Alma Civita... |
Thanks so much to everyone for TWO fabulous workshops!! I enjoyed meeting each of you and seeing your beautiful work!!
I am now also planning ahead to next year, however, due to the extreme heat of the past few years, I'm bumping the workshop to some time during the last 2 weeks in May...contacting me now (email: stbower@comcast.net) if you are interested!
Ciao, tutti!!!
