Picture Yourself... among the beautiful sights and sounds of Tuscany: Olive groves, vineyards, centuries-old buildings, winding streets, texture and vibrant sunlight, the very same that has inspired writers for centuries.
Feel Yourself...in the warm ambiance of Cortona, overlooking the Val di Chiana, originally fortified by the Umbrians, claimed by the Etruscans, touched by the Renaissance, almost unchanged for centuries, one of Tuscany's jewels.
Experience... the joy of gaining artistic skills and confidence with the expert instruction of an acclaimed professional artist and the camaraderie of a small group of learners.
Enjoy...great Italian food, delightful wines, new friends, breath-taking vistas, history and the hospitality of the people of Cortona.
