Plein Air Painting Workshop in Florence, Italy
350,00 €
Join me in Florence to paint outside underneath the open sky exactly where the Renaissance was born.
For three full days of intensive outdoor painting from 10-12 April 2026.
Almost every artist knows that little knot of nerves before painting outdoors: strangers pausing to watch, the light shifting every few minutes, wind rattling the easel, and the terrifying moment of that first visible brushstroke in public.
In these three days those nerves will go away. You’ll discover how to paint quickly and confidently with oil paint directly from nature, using clear step-by-step techniques that carry you smoothly from blank canvas to a finished, lively painting in a single session, all in the safety of a small, encouraging group of passionate artists.

Of course! This workshop is perfect for beginners too. I’ll guide you gently from the very first brushstroke with clear step-by-step instructions, plenty of live demos, and individual feedback so you always feel supported and confident.
What materials do I need?
We will paint with oil paint but I will send you the material list some time before the workshop so you have enough time to purchase all the needed things.
Can I paint in a medium other than oils?
We will focus exclusively on creating oil paintings en plein air. I will send you a material list some time before the workshop so you have enough time to buy all the needed things.
What is included in the price of the workshop?

What if it rains?
We’ll adjust the painting locations as needed to accommodate weather conditions. Florence offers plenty of sheltered spots that are perfect for plein air painting.
What language is the workshop conducted in?
The workshop is taught in English. I also speak German, and conversational Italian, so I can assist participants in these languages if needed.
What is your refund policy?
Full refund is possible if you cancel more than 60 days before the workshop starts. After that date the fee is non-refundable. Please register only if you are certain you can attend. Thank you for your understanding – this keeps the small group reliable and fair for everyone.
