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.

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.
With affection,
Natalie
