Southern Italy
Spring in Basilicata
28th May - 9th June 2009
What to expect: We stay for the duration of the holiday at an agriturismo which has proved very successful for the exploring trips in the past. We spend time in this area for a more developed painting holiday similiar to the Umbrian Villa Holiday . The emphasis will be on studio-based painting, with occasional excursions.
Summer in Basilicata - 6 nights.
Draw, Paint & Explore
25th Aug - 3rd Sep 2009
What to expect: From the arrival point we travel to the Vultura mountain range in Basilicata, which will be our first place to stay and work.
We will be visiting and staying at three very different areas within Basilicata to experience the flavour of this diverse region. The region is at quite a high altitude and the late August temperature is significantly lower than normally associated with southern Italy. You will need to be reasonably fit and able. Basilicata is not flat.
Suitable for all abilities and using easy to carry materials, the emphasis will be on drawings and exploring with sketch-book work at a variety of locations. There will be an opportunity for studio work at Miglionico.
