Etruscan Places: Discover the Beauty of Plein Air Painting Workshops in Italy and the US
Etruscan Places is a renowned company that has been offering small group plein air painting workshops in Italy and the US since 1995. The company is dedicated to providing an immersive experience for artists who want to explore their creativity while discovering the beauty of some of the most picturesque locations in these countries.
The workshops are led by experienced landscape painters who have a deep understanding of art, culture, and history. They provide personalized guidance to each participant, helping them develop their skills and techniques while capturing the essence of each location through their paintings.
One of the unique aspects of Etruscan Places is its focus on plein air painting. This technique involves painting outdoors, directly from nature, which allows artists to capture natural light, color, and atmosphere with greater accuracy than working from photographs or memory alone. The company's workshops take place in stunning locations such as Tuscany, Umbria, Provence, Burgundy, New Mexico and California where participants can immerse themselves in nature's beauty while honing their craft.
Etruscan Places' workshops are designed for artists at all levels - from beginners to advanced painters - who want to improve their skills or simply enjoy a creative vacation. Participants can expect an intimate setting with no more than 12 people per workshop ensuring individual attention from instructors.
The company also offers customized tours for groups or individuals looking for a unique travel experience that combines art with cultural immersion. These tours include visits to local museums and galleries as well as wine tastings and culinary experiences that showcase regional specialties.
At Etruscan Places we believe that art has transformative power; it enriches our lives by connecting us with our surroundings on a deeper level. Our mission is not only about teaching painting techniques but also about fostering creativity through meaningful experiences that inspire personal growth.
