Drawing and Watercolor Workshop in the Heart of Florence
Description
The experience is for you who would like to discover Florence with a brush in your hand see the city through new eyes sketching, painting and discover what Florence looks like through an artists lens. Being in Florence means surrounded by art, if you are a creative soul and would like to be creative yourself or you kids would like to create their own masterpieces this course is for you. The course is also for you who would like to get you sketchbook started, or simply dust off old drawing/painting skills. In case of rain or bad weather we'll be on a covered terrace with a fantastic view. The course is for all levels, both beginners and more experienced. My way of teaching is very individual and we'll start from your level and step by step progress from there. We are mostly sitting on stairs or standing during the class so please let me know in advance if you have special needs and I would schedule the class so that we'll go to a place where we can site down during the session.

Betty was a fantastic teacher and our drawing/ watercolor session was a highlight of my stay in Florence. Anyone with an interest in art would enjoy spending a couple of hours with her - she was a delight!
Betty was a great host and teacher for my family of 5. Keeping a pre teen and 2 teenagers interested and engaged is no small feat. We found a nice spot on the stairs of a beautiful piazza and slowed down for 2.5 hrs to draw and paint our surroundings; a rare thing with our instant gratification mobile devices. Highly recommend if you want to catch your breath and learn some artistic techniques in Firenze.
We really enjoyed this experience! Betty is a patient instructor, well organized and helpful. In the end we left Florence with a special keepsake! PS even a beginner can make a painting!
This was such a fun thing to do! Betty was so kind and patient which was great since I am not a watercolor artist. I have never tried it before and she made it so fun. Even though my pieces weren’t the best, I loved doing it and will treasure them as a reminder of my time spent in Florence. I would totally recommend this!
Betty is Friendly, professional and relaxed - a charming teacher. It's a fun afternoon with the need to concentrate too! We had a great time, learnt a lot and are now ready to try again!
Really enjoyable and relaxing afternoon, sketching and painting the Duomo. Betty was lovely, she made us feel welcome and took time to chat with us all, and even brought refreshments. She gave us plenty of guidance and I was very happy with my efforts.
It was a great time with helpful tips from Betty on sketching and watercoloring. I can highly recommend this workshop.
Great fun! Betty was very patient and helpful with 2 friends who had no previous experience with sketching and watercolor. The 2 hour experience was just about the right amount of time. Highly recommend!
Such a unique experience in Florence! It was peaceful, educational and fun! I really loved it and want to see her again to learn more and explore different areas to paint/sketch. This is a MUST do! Get away from the crowds and the rush to sit back for a couple hours and experience the beauty of Florence.
My wife said that this class with Betty was her favorite experience in Florence. Betty was very professional and helpful. She explained history and art techniques and she helped us to appreciate the art around us. I can't imagine a more personal and pleasant experience learning to draw and paint outside in Florence. She supplied all that we needed, including tea and biscuits. We would do this again! Highly recommended.
