2025 Painting Workshops with Laurie and Blair Pessemier

In Fall and Winter:

We will paint with you in Rome and the outlying areas. Borghese Gardens, along the Tiber, or out in the countryside. En plein air in parks and on streets; day trips to the countryside. In inclement weather, we paint churches and cafes, or impromptu studios.

INCLUDES: Our workshops include all canvas and easels, acrylic paints and brushes.  We tour you around in our vehicle.  Our teaching style is loose:  if you just want to paint without imput that’s fine; if you want instruction, both Blair and Laurie can guide you.

PRICE: Workshops are 375.00 euros (for two; 100 each for others) for 1/2 day painting, meeting on site. Other options available, just ask
