Paint Class in Umbria, Italy



Today I am complete thrilled and enthralled with two things. The first is last night we moved our clocks ahead one hour Daylight Savings Time has begun.  Yahhhhh!  You know what the means one hour more to paint in good light and one our more to sit in outdoor cafes.

The second thing is I have finally organized my Painting Class in Umbria (click here).  It is going to be such fun.  You can read all about it above this post, below the Sette Design sign there is a section titled Painting Class in Umbria click on it. 


Sette Design -Motif on Venetian stucco

This class will be about  painting furniture, walls and art.  It will be a journey into creativity and inspiration along with hands on practical techniques. We are going to learn effects like Shabby Chic, French Provincial, Antiquing, Venetian Stucco (this is the smooth marble like walls) watercolors, tinting waxes and stucco, pigments, gold and silver leaf.  Sky is the limit.

Then we are going to go on a trip to Rome to see EVERYTHING and even to Spello to see a Roman Mosaic floor.  We are going to be inspired by the colors, light, architecture and paintings of Italy. We are going to sit around drinking coffee and or cocktails.

Please think about coming to take a class right here with me in Foligno, Italy.  I have class dates arranged but you can also form your own group and take a short one or two day course.

As always on this blog and for this painting class we are going to have FUN.  All levels of experience are welcome.

And here is a quote from Mark Twain.  It is a little harsh so view it with humor.  Always humor here at Sette Design.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow mindedness and many of our people need it surely on these accounts.  Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and thing cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s life-time.”

Oh dear I wish Mark Twain could be a guest speaker at my painting class, he would whip even me in shape.
