DRAWING AND PAINTING LESSONS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF TUSCANY

The Valdarno region lies in a strategic position for the Tuscan artistic itineraries, halfway between Florence and Arezzo, not far from Siena. Looking at its history we can understand the very special nature of this region where Masaccio was born and which attracted the attention of Leonardo da Vinci, who became directly acquainted with the area, studied its morphology and described and reproduced it in dated and signed designs. In the background of some of his paintings, such as the Mona Lisa, some art critics recognise the countryside of the "balze" of Valdarno. At il Sillabo you can practise your drawing and painting in such an environment!

COURSE DETAILS

The Drawing course, which we recommend to those who approach this technique for the first time, is aimed to: real-life charcoaldrawing using the proportional method and study of chiaroscuro; study of real-life composition; copy from the great masters (portrait study); study of Tuscan landscape, pastel technique outline (facultative).

The Drawing and Painting course includes an introduction to (or a review of) the drawing techniques such as real-life charcoal drawing using the proportional method and study of chiaroscuro and study of real-life composition as well as copy from the great masters (portrait and figure)and study of Tuscan landscape. Besides, it offers the opportunity to learn the use of WATERCOLOUR or TEMPERA, with study of real-life compositions and Tuscan landscape and for the most advanced even the copy from great masters. Due the difficulty of water colour techniques, the students wishing to study them are supposed to have a good basis of Drawing.
