Join Aimee Erickson, author of the acclaimed Plein Air Techniques for Artists, for a week of plein air painting in the Umbrian foothills of Italy. Aimee’s approach is very much about joy, exploration, discovery and deliberate color decisions. The workshop focus will be on color and atmosphere, using smaller studies for ease of setup and transport. Aimee’s daily format will include demonstrations and instruction in the morning, followed by a leisurely lunch or free painting period, with the afternoon session taking full advantage of the exquisite late afternoon Umbrian light. The setting for this art adventure is the beautiful Castello di Petroia, an 11th century castle set in the rolling hills, olive orchards and forests of the Umbrian countryside, near the historic medieval city of Gubbio. Come paint, explore and get inspired!
The venue for this week-long art immersion is the 10th Century Castello di Petroia, an authentic medieval fortress perched on a hilltop between the towns of Perugia and Gubbio, with inspiring views of the surrounding landscape. The castle, birthplace of Federico da Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino (b.1422), is surrounded by a 600-acre traditional Umbrian farm with beautiful olive groves, hiking and horse-riding trails, meadows, woods and abundant wildlife.
