Il Chiostro

Venice, a city, empire, wonder of the world, is one of the most visually stimulating places on Earth. Stripes of canals with wonderful reflections, Byzantine mosaics glittering in the sun, misty morning fog playing with lights and darks give us wonderful subjects to paint. Each step through the crooked passages is a delight.  Artists have been interpreting Venice since it was born in the lagoon centuries ago, from the Grand Canal to the tiny sculptures above the doorframes. Paint it's sensuality.

During the week we will organize optional visits to museums and current art exhibits and tours to neighboring islands. We will stay in the center of town, just off the Campo Santo Stefano (close to the Accademia bridge), in a newly refurbished
ex-convent. Rooms are single or double, simple and clean, each with private bathroom and shower. Daily housekeeping provided. For our d
inners together we will sample diverse neighborhood trattorie and restaurants.

      7 nights accommodation double occupancy
      Morning breakfasts and 5 dinners including wine
      Tour of Venice with exceptional and attentive workshop hosts
      Select excursion to the islands of Murano/Burano
      Mackenzie workshop tuition


    

 





Painting Workshops and Local Classes  

The workshops welcome all levels of students. The demonstrations and instruction are for oils but those well versed in pastel and acrylic are welcome to join us. The painting instruction will benefit the experienced students wanting to enhance their skills as well as the novice oil painters looking for more confidence and a solid background in the basics.  

Both plein air and studio workshops are offered. The focus is not only on painting but on solid composition, creating atmospheric perspective, understanding color temperatures and values. The students will develop their individual   abilities while enhancing their own creative styles. The workshop emphasis will be on oils but artists familiar with other mediums are welcome.
