You will study:

  • the use of coloured pencils and pastels techniques.
  • the use of normal and oily temperas
  • the use of oil-colours for glazing and printing painting
  • You will make copies of Old Masters to practise these techniques, with special attention to fourteenth-century tempera on board and gold-ground techniques.

Painting Course in Florence

 

Our course runs in an art workshop “bottega” in Florence. The Italian bottega was the place where the most famous Italian artists, such as Giotto, Leonardo and Raffaello, learned the painting techniques.

All these painters, in fact, did not learn how to paint in an art school but in a bottega.

 

Today, following this ancient learning method, we offer you the same opportunity: to paint in a real Florentine bottega!

 

The workshop is located in the historic centre of Florence. It is open all year round and you can take short or long term courses. This painting course is open to all levels.

    Tive uma semana maravilhosa de instruções de pintura com Francesca Vannini no seu estúdio de arte. Tudo começou na primeira manhã, quando cheguei debaixo de chuva e ela estava à minha espera à sua porta. Francesca é uma professora muito versátil, paciente e amável. Mostrou-me o suficiente para começar e guiou-me através de 4 pinturas diferentes que fiz durante a semana com técnicas diferentes. Sempre me considerei uma pessoa sem talento, mas ela conseguiu convencer-me de que isso não é necessariamente verdade. A minha semana com ela foi verdadeiramente agradável e divertida e decidi continuar com este hobby recém-descoberto. Além disso, a organização geral através da Federica foi excelente. Ela foi extremamente reactiva e eficiente. Tudo correu como prometido. Recomendo-te vivamente

    J’ai passé une semaine merveilleuse à suivre des instructions de peinture avec Francesca Vannini dans son studio d’art. Tout a commencé le premier matin, lorsque je suis arrivée sous une pluie battante et qu’elle m’attendait devant sa porte. Francesca est une enseignante très polyvalente, expérimentée, patiente et gentille. Elle m’a montré suffisamment de choses pour commencer et m’a guidée à travers 4 peintures différentes que j’ai réalisées au cours de la semaine avec des techniques différentes. J’ai toujours pensé que je n’avais aucun talent, mais elle a réussi à me convaincre que ce n’était pas nécessairement vrai. La semaine que j’ai passée avec elle a été vraiment agréable et amusante et j’ai décidé de continuer à pratiquer ce nouveau hobby. De plus, l’organisation générale par Federica a été excellente. Elle a été extrêmement réactive et efficace. Tout s’est déroulé comme promis. Je vous le recommande vivement

    I had a wonderful week of painting instructions with Francesca Vannini in her Art studio. It started the first morning when I arrived in heavy rain and she was waiting for me outside her door. Francesca is a very versatile experienced patient and kind teacher. She showed me enough to get started and guided me through 4 different paintings I made during the week with different techniques. I had always thought of myself as utterly untalented but she managed to convince me that it’s not necessarily true. My week with her was truly enjoyable and fun and I decided to continue with this newly found hobby.
    Also, the overall organization through Federica was excellent. She was extremely responsive and efficient. Everything worked out as promised. I highly recommend it

    Wonderful course! I loved my teacher, and learned so much within a short period of time. Even with the language barrier we were able to communicate well. One-on-one allowed me to have individualized support to work on exactly what I wanted.

    I cannot submit this review without commenting on my amazing teacher, Lucetta. I walked every week day through Florence to her studio to learn about the Renaissance Art Period. I cannot believe how much I learned about the different artists, the style, the techniques and skills used. I really learned why these artists were and still are so influential to artists across Art History including modern art today. Alongside the learning, I practised the skills by producing some of my own artwork. I could not have done this without Lucetta. I invested in her but equally, she recognised the artist within me and assisted in my growth and development. After the two weeks, I realised I had learned a wealth of knowledge about the Renaissance Art period and I felt more confident as an artist and the use of oil paint in particular. The first steps are the hardest and then as with all journeys, once started, you gain confidence and even if you don’t know where you’re heading exactly, the process is both enjoyable, challenging, exhilarating and worthwhile!
    Federica at StudiainItalia was amazingly efficient from the moment we spoke. She found me beautiful accommodation and an outstanding Art teacher at last minute, in August which was a miracle! I cannot thank Federica enough for such an excellent service and when I wasn’t sure about anything, she answered my phonecalls and reassured me every step of the way, sending maps via email and all the relevant information.

    Lucetta was fantastic. We love her and valued learning from her. She has a gracious spirit and a wealth of knowledge. Deborah and I were both teachers and we immediately recognized Lucetta as a Master Teacher.

    The only thing that could have been better was our lodging itself. We really appreciated Paola personally. She is a dear person who always responded promptly to needs. But the apartment itself was less than we had hoped. I am aware that our needs were a bit exceptional, but the apartment was difficult for us. Maybe if the organization could develop a list of alternative lodgings it would help. I don’t know.

Adorei aprender as técnicas das cores, da luz, do escuro e da profundidade. Ela é muito atenciosa com o que você está pintando e o orienta de forma que você consiga sua própria criação. Fiquei muito à vontade. E gostei muito de conversar e aprender sobre os segredos dos grandes pintores, arte, história e outros assuntos que enriquecem a alma. Mal posso esperar para ter aulas com Lucetta novamente e espero poder ficar mais tempo da próxima vez.Além disso, Florença é realmente uma cidade mágica, onde descobre algo novo todos os dias.E também gostaria de agradecer a vocês pela acomodação.

    I was fascinated with the course! It was an amazing intensive week! I was fascinated to learn oil painting with Lucetta! She is a genius, she explains the technique with a lot of passion and patience. I loved learning the techniques of the colours, the light, the dark and the depth. She is very attentive to what you are painting and guides you in such a way that you achieve your own creation. I felt very comfortable. And I really enjoyed talking and learning about the secrets of the great painters, art, history and other subjects that enrich the soul. I can’t wait to take classes with Lucetta again and I hope I can stay longer next time, because Florence really is a magical city where you discover something new every day, and I would also like to thank you for the accommodation. Amalia is lovely, I really enjoyed my stay in her house. I felt very comfortable and I loved meeting her and sharing dinners and chats with her, it was a spectacular week! Thank you very much!

    The oil painting course with Lucetta, organised by Studia in Italia, was a wonderful experience. Lucetta is a patient, helpful and very giving teacher. I learned a lot from her and with her guidance, I expanded my oil painting skills beyond expectations. Her extensive knowledge enables her to support her students in whichever painting technique they would like to improve. I found communication with Lucetta very easy and hope to come back one day, to take some more painting lessons from her.I would also like to say here that the staff of Studia in Italia, especially Federica, have been extremely helpful and very intent on organising everything according to my requirements.This, combined with the stay in the marvellous city of Florence, have made my study experience in Italy a remarkable experience.

    Ha sido un placer realizar el curso de pintura con mi instructora Lucetta Risaliti a través de Studia in Italia. En sólo cuatro días he sido capaz de terminar una pintura al óleo, sabiendo que tenía experiencia previa en dibujo pero ésta era mi primera experiencia en dibujo al óleo. Lucetta me ha ayudado mucho y he aprendido mucho de ella. Y por supuesto debo admitir que Florencia para mí es una ciudad artística mágica, y me he enamorado de ella… realmente creo que la magia de esta ciudad es la razón por la que he podido terminar mi cuadro en tan poco tiempo. Si tuviera la oportunidad de volver a Florencia, sin duda volvería!

    It was my pleasure to take the painting course with my instructor Lucetta Risaliti via Studia in Italia. In only four days i was able to finish an oil painting, knowing that i had a previous experience in drawing but this was my first experience in drawing with oil. Lucetta was very helpful and i learned a lot from her. And of course i must admit that Florence for me is a magical artistic city, and i fell in love with it ? i really believe that the magic of this city is the reason that i was able to finish my painting in such a short time. If i had the chance to come again to Florence, I would definitely come again ?
