Highlights
  • Piazza del Duomo, 10 - This is an outside activity and inspired by the beauty of Florence we’ll try to get it down on paper. During the class we’ll get in touch with both drawing and watercolor.
    In the end of the class you’ll come away with a drawing and a watercolor painting.

The activity is wheelchair friendly/accessible but it’s very important to inform me in advance, in order to prepare the session and full fill all needs.

I will be next to you during the whole session with useful tips on composition, perspective, light and shade, color mixing, trying out different techniques and materials and working step by step to create your own “masterpieces”.

We are going to watch autumn and winter but don’t worry if you have booked a rainy day because in case of rain or bad weather the class will take place on a covered terrace with a fantastic view to the Dome of Florence.

I will bring all what we need of materials during the class.

Additional Information

If you’re keen on exploring Florence from a unique perspective, this experience is perfect for you. Imagine walking through the city with a paintbrush in hand, viewing it through the eyes of an artist, sketching and painting as you uncover the artistic side of Florence. The city of Florence is an art haven, and if your creative spirit or your children’s knack for artistry is calling, this course is tailored-made for you.

If you’re interested in starting a sketchbook or dusting off your rusty drawing or painting skills, this course is just right.

Designed for all skill levels from beginners to the more skilled, I use a highly personalized teaching approach. We will start from your current mastery and progress gradually from there.

Please note, most of our time is spent sitting on steps or standing during the class. If you have specific needs, do notify me in advance so I can arrange for a location that allows us to sit during the session.

Meeting with a friend to paint. - Totally enjoyed my experience with painting with Betty. She was prepared and very knowledgeable. I felt like I spent a morning painting with a friend. Well worth the fee. And you walk away with two originals works of your own. Great gift to bring home and have framed.

Plein Air Art Class - Classic Florentine Duomo! - Betty is awesome! She’s got a sweet, laid back energy, is super prepared, and took us to this hidden treasure of a public library’s veranda to do some plein air drawing and watercolor painting! We followed Betty’s step-by-step easy instruction to put the Duomo on paper (which was already taped to Masonite boards!) while listening to birds chirping and enjoying the breeze on the top floor. Yes, it is as relaxing as it sounds. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who’s even thinking of doing it! Our group had a 10-year old girl and Betty was great with her also! And oh - she even brought biscuits and tea for a mid session snack! That little touch completed the picture! 😉🖼️🖼️

Excellent - Betty was so kind and professional. She shared lots of her valuable knowledge, not only of drawing and watercolor but of the history of Florence which made the experience so precious. She and even recommended places to buy art supplied. It felt like I known her for a long time so the class felt so special. She also took pictures of me during the class to share with my family.
