Trips & Conferences
May 1 – 8, 2007: Painting and sketching in Italy with Barbara Rush.
Visit the Tuscan town of Cortona, Italy, where artist Roth will teach
any level student painting and sketching with pen, ink and watercolor.
Cortona is the town that inspired Frances Mayes to write “Under
the Tuscan Sun.” Quaint and charming subject matter to paint and
photograph is everywhere. The workshop is a great way to jumpstart
your watercolor painting or push your artistry to the next level.
Additionally, learn all about sketching out of doors and combining
ink with watercolor. It’s also a great trip for non-painters and photographers
as there are tons of great things to do all day in Tuscany. All
meals, wines, tours and accommodations are included. Prices begin at
$2,049 per person/double occupancy. Stay at a fabulous four-star villa
hotel or a serene monastery. Contact Barbara Roth at (916) 624-7572
