Florence is an incredible city with so many museums and places of beauty to visit. It is a small city and so easy to explore everything on foot. Tuition will take place each morning in a magnificent studio housed in one of Florence's many Palazzos. The studio is owned by Laura and Frank who originated in Canada and have now lived in Florence for over 15 years. They are both alumni of The Florence Academy of Art. Hotel della Signoria, where are guests will stay, is 2 minutes from the Ponte Vechio Bridge and just a 5 minute walk to the studio. Laura will be teaching the "Sight See" method of painting a Still Life. The media is oils and all equipment will be provided including the canvas. By the end of the week everyone will walk away with an accomplished Still Life oil painting. Tuition takes place each morning in the light filled studio and finishes at 13.00 each day. Coffee will be served at 11 am and Frank usually brings out prosecco and nibbles at 12 noon. Guests are free to have lunch wherever they wish in the city. Each evening guests will get together to have dinner in different restaurants in the centre of Florence. This holiday is very suitable for single people travelling alone. We have put our intimate knowledge of Florence and its restaurants to good use.
