The Marsiliana. Marc Dalessio. Oil on linen, 80 x 100 cm, 1999.

After the success of their Trevi plein air workshop, Daniela Astone and Marc Dalessio have decided to do a second course in Maremma (near the coast in southwestern Tuscany). As with Trevi the area is one of the more picturesque in Italy and one of my favorite places to paint. Students will stay in the Marsiliana, a stunning castle/hamlet perched on a hill and near enough to the coast for day trips to the beach. It’s an area where the instructors have scouted extensively over the years so students can be assured of finding inspiring subject matter.

The dates will be from the 17th to the 27th of September and the cost for the ten days will be 1900 euros for a shared double room with everything included (food, lodging, wine, materials, and local transportation). Single room accommodation is available at an additional cost, and spouses are welcome at a discounted rate.

Spaces are limited so send an email to marc@ritratto.com if you’re interested in joining.

Students can download the materials list here.

Classes are Mondays and Thursdays from 17:00 to 20:00. Course fee is €350 per month.

The course will start up again in October.
