Ritornata
Dear Forum:
It pleases me to report that Florence is as beautiful as ever. During our visit, we painted nearly every day en pleine aire.
On day one, we visited Cecil Studios (thank you Mari!) for a free slide show and lecture on the pre-Renaissance influence of Giotto given by Charles Cecil.
We sketched from the model at the Florence Academy. Pictured here with me (on the left)is my collegue, Sophia James. How happy are we? Very!
On the day before departing, we toured the impressive Angel Studios.
All three ateliers have much to offer the student looking to learn Renaissance methods of portrait painting. The process is often painstaking with the first of three years dedicated to drawing and learning sight-sizing.
Summer workshops and studio sessions are available for visitors.
