New Workshop in Florence Italy
Hello Everybody! I am packing for Italy workshops including a New Workshop In Florence Italy: Paint Florentine Gardens.
Painting at Villa Gamberaia
Florence is like a second home to me and I always get a thrill just dreaming about being there. I am also very excited to share it with some students who have never been there before. Plus, it is a new workshop providing daily painting opportunities in some of Florence’s most beautiful and renowned gardens. I have painted in almost all the spots we are visiting, but have never painted in them all in a span of a week.

May in Florence is beautiful and we should see
lots of flowers in bloom.
Plus, painting in Florentine gardens provides beautiful structures and objects surrounded by designed landscape and distant indicative views. They also provide relatively peaceful locations for focusing on painting as compared to painting on the city street.
Taking in the View
My intimate experience and knowledge of Florence and years of going there to paint allowed me to craft a beautiful workshop filled with wonderful painting opportunities, atmospheric accommodations, great restaurant reservations, and some special exploring and tours. Please follow along May 1 – May 26 on my Facebook and Instagram pages found under vsfergus.
