IMAGINE having an experience of a lifetime in beautiful Tuscany this September capturing the light, the sights, the stunning beauty all around and completely immersing yourself in the Italian culture!
The 2016 journey will include days in Cortona plein air painting, practicing meditation & Yoga in various locations around the town, and also photographing landscapes, street scenes, foliage, figures and architecture. We strive to immerse ourselves into the Italian culture learning about wines, enjoying the local cuisine, keeping in stride with the slower-paced enjoyment of life!
We will go to neighboring town Montepulciano for a magnificent tour of one of the oldest wine cellars in the world! We will also venture out of town to nearby breathtaking thermal baths for a day of rejuvenation.
Let Carole and Claire lead you step by step into fearlessly awakening your creative mind, body and spirit. Relaxing and reviving the mind in beautiful Tuscany is a beautiful way to awaken the senses to full creative living. Sweeping hill town views, open air, delicious wines & cuisine, experiencing the warmth of the people we have known for years in Cortona--this is what we wish to share with you!
All supplies provided by C&C including portable easels and drawing boards. Let us know if you'd rather bring your own supplies. Bring your nice camera or point-and-shoot camera or smart phone to capture scenes.
When not painting, there will be time on your own to walk around and explore the beauty and history of Cortona. This medieval hill town dates back to 500 B.C., and features a medieval street and several great museums. Enjoy the breathtaking views, and enjoy the warm and welcoming locals, artisans native to Cortona, delicious cuisine and wine, antiques, fine boutiques and quaint spots to sit and enjoy a gelato, sip a cappuccino and sketch. If you take a walk through the lush park and beyond, you may just find yourself in front of gorgeous Bramasole - author Frances Mayes's beloved villa featured in Under the Tuscan Sun!
