Carol Maguire is celebrated for her vibrant and colorful artwork radiating joy and capturing the essence of nature’s splendor. In this immersive plein air landscape class set in a historic castle in the Umbrian countryside, participants will have the unique opportunity to learn from Carol’s expertise, creativity and gentle guidance.
Carol’s teaching approach emphasizes spontaneity, freedom and expression as she encourages students to infuse their paintings with the same vibrancy and energy that define her own work. Participants will learn essential plein air, as well as still life painting techniques, including color mixing, composition and capturing light and shadow. Through demonstrations, individualized feedback and supportive critique sessions, students will gain confidence in their artistic abilities and develop their own unique style.
We will arrange a Zoom meeting with Carol and participants prior to the trip to discuss class format, supply list, travel with paint, travel details and life at the castle. Whether you’re an experienced painter seeking new inspiration or a beginner eager to explore the world of plein air painting, this course offers a transformative experience filled with creativity, camaraderie and personal growth.
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.
