 WATERCOLOR PAINTING WORKSHOP

AT THE COUNTRY HOUSE IL BIROCCIO

with Silvia De Bastiani

FROM ….TO ….

The Country House il Biroccio offers the possibility of combining a holiday on its premises with a course on watercolour painting en plein air with the painter Silvia De Bastiani.

The course is aimed at those who practice watercolour painting: participants will be guided individually, according to their level.

The natural surroundings of the Country House, the undulating hills of the Marche, and the architecture of the nearby Urbino and other towns will inspire your painting.

Observing the landscape and painting en plein air: a way to discover its numerous shades as well as to search for one’s own artistic inclinations while dwelling in nature and sharing an experience far removed from the daily rhythm.

The offer includes:

• accommodation in a double or single room with 1/2 board (drinks included) for 7 nights;
• 3 meals (drinks included) at Il Biroccio for the days when the course will take place near the Country House;
• 6 day watercolour course: 4 full days and 2 mornings (2 afternoons will be free for relaxation or individual painting. The teacher will be anyway available to revise works)
•  access to the swimming-pool and bed linen change at half-way point of the visit.

PROGRAMME

The course will include 3 days at the Country House Il Biroccio and 3 outings (destinations may include Urbino, Sant’Angelo in Vado, San Leo, Urbania and other nearby towns).
