Chasing the Italian Light

with Bernard Dellario - September 12-19, 2024

Dates: September 12-19, 2024
Instructor: Bernard Dellario
Venue: Palazzo Leti, Spoleto, Umbria, Italy
Medium: Oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor or pastel. Bernie demonstrates and teaches in gouache, oil and acrylic.
Level: All

Bernie Dellario builds on his popular theme of capturing the essence of the Italian landscape using a minimum of plein air equipment, this time in an entirely different venue, a fourteenth century palazzo located in the historic renaissance town of Spoleto.  The entire residence, including its lovely formal garden, will be reserved exclusively for participants’ accommodation, painting and instruction.  While there will be plenty of opportunities for painting the Umbrian countryside, the focus of this workshop will be capturing the urban life of a vibrant town that has been historically significant from Etruscan times through the Renaissance and beyond.  With 38,000 inhabitants, Spoleto is large enough to offer participants ample opportunities for exploration of museums, restaurants, and shopping when not painting.

Experience Counts

With over 10 years of experience organizing art tours, and with part of our team, my daughters Anne and Amy, living in Europe and fluent in Italian and Spanish, we have the ability not only to maintain long term relationships with the owners and staff of our favorite venues, but to seek out and vet new and unique locations each year. We personally participate in every travel workshop to ensure the quality of the accommodations and cuisine as well as to coordinate the special needs of the art instruction program.
