Francesco Fontana Painting Workshops in France and Italy
Paris & Normandy, Provence and Sicily
What you learn and bring home
Our workshops combine travel, inspiration and technique. According to your level, you'll be helped to render the light and poetry of a view. Experienced painters can get tips for improving their technique. You'll bring home a series of paintings, more self confidence, and great memories!
Wherever we go, beauty will find us! Honfleur, Etretat, Noto, Ragusa, Paris, Gordes and Roussillon are the legendary locations we'll visit. Typically we’ll drive in the morning to the scheduled site for a plein air class. After lunch we'll move to a new location for visiting and free painting. Then it'll be time for a drink and a good dinner.
Francesco, more than a painter. I'm a professional artist whose artworks are exhibited and collected in French and Italian galleries. I teach full time. I’ve studied fine art in Italy and lived in Paris and London (I'm fluent in three languages). Organizing tours is part of my background as manager of international music productions for 15 years.
Why join my workshops? In addition to the good reasons above, you may want to be accompanied by a cultivated European who lives, travels and paints there. A confident and congenial person who understands people’s personality and recognizes their potential.
Now tell me about your travel and painting dream. I feel we’ll make it come true!
