It finally starts today...Draw Civita 2014

This is something I've wanted to do my entire adult life:  travel and teach sketching.  

A year and a half in the making, together with the amazing support of one Stephen Day, Architect and past president of NIAUSI/The Civita Institute, 6 workshop participants are showing up today in this amazing tiny hill town of Civita di Bagnoregio.  We'll draw and paint, learn perspective and basic watercolor for 5 full days, have some amazing meals, and marvel at these ancient stones and dramatic setting.

And yes, the idea is to do this next year too (anyone up for Draw Civita 2015?)...and the year after that...and...

After the workshop, I'll be here till August 22 working on my fellowship project, an illustrated architectural walking guide to the town...grazie mille, Civita Institute!!

Can you imagine me hauling my groceries up this bridge?
