An en plein air painting experience on Lake Como: we will paint with easels and canvases in front of the real landscape, with the water reflecting the sky and the light changing from hour to hour, in one of the most evocative spots in the Lecco area.
Guided by an expert artist, we will work with oils in a relaxed and progressive manner. You will learn how to use colours and thinners, how to construct a balanced composition and how to create the aerial perspective that gives depth to the landscape, accompanied by the story of the Impressionists and the origins of plein air painting.
Every gesture will be followed with attention: you will receive personalised suggestions, corrections and, when necessary, practical examples to understand techniques and steps. All you need to participate is curiosity and a desire to get involved; no artistic experience is required.
At the end, you will take home not only your original painting, but also a new perspective on the Lecco landscape, observed and interpreted with your own colours.
