Prismatic Palette: Plein Air Painting

9-day experience (7 days of instruction)

September 28 - October 6, 2023


Padula Italy Workshop

Enjoy this all-inclusive experience in the incomparable beauty of the Italian countryside while studying the prismatic palette. We will be painting at a variety of locations studying from both grand vistas as well as more intimate views in historic sites.

This is your opportunity to study atmospheric color recession and learn how to employ rich neutrals to extend your range of color. Joe will discuss the importance of unity, variety & overall harmony. We will delve into capturing what makes each day different and how to capture specific effects of light- and all this while enjoying the wine and foods of the region.

You can expect to work on two paintings each day. There will be some hiking so students must be feeling fit!

No finer way to get in touch with one’s inner Italian!

Fee includes: Accommodations at a charming hotel in the historic center of Padula, 8 nights; daily instruction and mentoring, all meals beginning with aperitivo and dinner on day of arrival (a selection of local wine is included) and ending with breakfast on your departure day; all entrance fees, guide fees, etc.; all taxes; and all local transportation, including Naples Airport pick up/drop-off.

Note to students: Teaching is tailored to your level so all levels are welcome. My only requirement is that you enter the class humble to nature and open to new information.
