The San Gimignano Plein Air Painting Workshop 2025 took place in mid-May and it was as good as it gets!

Our group was totally engaged and congenial,

the weather was mild and pleasant,

our accommodations were authentic, comfortable and friendly,

the food was delicious,

and we enjoyed so many beautiful painting locations.

There was a full spectrum of painting experience represented at this workshop ranging from complete novice to very accomplished. Fortunately, the willingness to try new things and dedication to growth was with each person

and the painting results speak for themselves.

So here goes with “What we Painted in San Gimignano!

Enjoy seeing the unique visions expressed by each individual.
