Memories of Tuscany
Pocket Sketching in Watercolor
Kath Macaulay
Sept 22 - Oct 1 2010


In this adventure we learn to translate our experiences in the most immediate
way into watercolor sketches. These small sketches become rich memories
which we can use to paint from later, use as prompts for writing , or collect
into a personalized book. The simplest materials will be all we will need, all of
which fits into a light fanny pack. For our first three days in Florence we'll
explore architecture, museums, churches and outdoor cafés. We'll sit in the
Piazza Della Signoria sipping our Campari and Soda, sketching the glorious
statuary and surroundings while dining on sumptuous food and enjoying the
unique ambiance of Italy. Then we'll move our base of operations to a Villa
outside of Certaldo where we'll make side trips to Siena and San Gimigniano,
all the while documenting our trip in our small watercolor sketches. Building
our skills and our own personal approach. Critiques and demonstrations by
the instructor every day. Group shows and discussions. Viva Italia!!!
