You could not find more glorious plein air subjects than in the scenery around the Watermill at Posara. Unspoiled rural Tuscany, with tree-covered hills, craggy mountains, fortified mediaeval towns, hilltop village slumbering in the sun… there are endless subjects to paint, and who better to paint them with than Watermill tutor Pamme Turner?
A professional artist and college professor with multiple degrees in the Fine Arts, Pamme has taught art classes and art workshops all over the world and has more than 30 years of teaching experience. She says: “I am fascinated by the creative art-making process and encourage my students to experience that same joy in all of their works.†A previous student says: “An incredible workshop; more educational than a whole college semester! And so much more fun!â€
We have 10 people booked into Pamme’s course next month (two of whom are non-painting partners), but because we have a number of couples or friends sharing some of our beautiful double bedrooms, the Bronzino, Gentileschi and Uccello, are still free, so we still have room for two or three more painters (and their non-painting partners if they would care to join them.)
We would love you to join us for Pamme’s inspiring and relaxing week-long workshop. She will be with us from Saturday 9 July to Saturday, 16 July 2022. Pamme’s course is called a Plein Air Essentials workshop (for watercolor and gouache).
You’ll learn to paint with both transparent and/or opaque mediums “en plein airâ€, with an emphasis on beautiful watercolor techniques. As well as painting in the glorious Tuscan countryside you will also be working in the light and airy Watermill studio. The course is designed for painters of all levels.
You will, of course, enjoy warm hospitality, delicious food and the convivial company of other guests on your relaxing and inspiring week. And don’t forget that you will also be Cool and Green: all our public rooms, including the studio, and all our bedrooms are air-conditioned powered by electricity from our hidden array of photovoltaic cells, which make us self-sufficient in electricity.
Come and join us and make memories that will last a lifetime
