Click here to check out the deal: Lisa's Gryphon Art & Travel <https://www.lisastatkus.com/product/melissa-weinman-registration-italy-2018-sept-2-12/> *LEARN SOLVENT-FREE OIL PAINTING &* *8 EFFECTIVE LESSONS IN LANDSCAPE PAINTING WITH MELISSA WEINMAN* I'm going to be teaching my landscape composition strategy of using diminishing intervals to make deep space and great compositions. I'll also be teaching strategies for painting clouds, water, and reflected light in shadows. We'll be painting and sight-seeing in Pienza, Montepulciano, Sienna, Arezzo, and Perugia. Our home base is in the middle of all of it in Contignano, a quaint hilltop village with our 500 year old villa with pool. Early September is still summer in Italy without all the crowds. Does it get any better than that?! So if this is a trip you would like to take with me, take advantage of the discount, reserve your spot now and begin anticipating an exquisitely beautiful experience of making paintings in the fields of Tuscany, seeing the art of Piero della Francesca first hand, and enjoying the company of some dynamic fellow artists. Some of you may think you are beginners, don't be intimidated. You will learn so much so fast. The most important thing is that you are guided, inspired, and get a creative juice high from immersing yourself in your own creative process.
