About this opportunity
The space
Join painter Edwige Fouvry for five days of figure and landscape work in oil or acrylic at Villa Fontallorso in Tuscany. Demonstrations, explanation, and individual feedback address observation, colour, light and shadow, proportion, texture, composition, and the movement between representation and abstraction, with studio and plein-air sessions depending on weather.
Surroundings
The retreat takes place at a nineteenth-century villa near the Casentinesi forest park in Tuscany, around forty minutes from central Florence, with a bright 220-square-metre octagonal studio and surrounding woodland and vineyard views.
Life during a stay
Six nights at Villa Fontallorso are included, with twin-share and private-room categories. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, soft drinks and wine are included in the package.
Good to know
The workshop is taught in English and Edwige also speaks French. Easels and solvents are provided; participants receive a full materials list and information pack at least three months before the retreat. Arrival and departure transfers are included from the organiser's stated meeting point.
