Inspiration in Florence - A relaxing and inspiring afternoon of sketching and painting. Excellent guidance from the instructor Betty, and gorgeous views to capture in watercolour. My favourite souvenir to bring home from my vacation is my lovely little painting!

Unique & creative experience with the wonderful Betty! - Betty is an absolute gem and her watercolor session was a highlight of our trip to Florence! It rained the day of our class, but Betty has a perfect backup plan in case of inclement weather. We sat on an outdoor terrace with a lovely view of the Duomo. Betty is kind, thoughtful and patient with her students. My 13-year-old daughter loves to draw and paint and she had an amazing time. We had a small group and met some lovely people. Highly recommend this experience with Betty!

Highlight of my trip! - One of the most amazing experiences I've had in Florence. This is my second time visiting Florence and I wanted to have a non-tourist activity, and since it's Florence the heart of art, I decided to take this class. Betty, our instructor was so kind, experienced, and very professional. I am an avid painter and I learned so much from Betty. You can always learn more, and this class really let me be more present on my trip and I even met other fellow artists. I would say you should come with a bit of art knowledge because this is a class that is a bit fast-paced, but then again every artist is at their own pace. Overall, this workshop with Betty was the highlight of my trip and a 10/10 for me.

Wonderful! - Our daughters had a private lesson with Betty. She was patient and helpful, provided lots of positive, individual attention, and gave really useful examples of technique. In three hours, our daughters gained technical skills they will use forever, along with a personal watercolor of Florence they will always treasure. Her passion for the medium truly inspired our daughters and they've been pestering us ever since the lesson to buy them a watercolor set so they can continue to paint. It was one of our daughters' favorite parts of our trip to Florence. Betty also provided us a very thoughtful and comprehensive list of restaurants and places to visit in Florence.

A Magical Watercolor Experience in Florence - My daughter Abigail and I had the most wonderful time at Betty's watercolor class in Florence! The setting was absolutely inspiring, surrounded by the beauty and charm of the city, and the experience was even better than we imagined. Betty is an incredible instructor—so kind, patient, and encouraging. She guided us step-by-step, ensuring we felt comfortable regardless of our skill level, and helped us bring our creative visions to life. Her passion for art is contagious, and she created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone in the class. We left with not only beautiful pieces of art but also cherished memories of a special day spent together. I highly recommend this class to anyone, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking to explore Florence through a creative lens. Thank you, Betty, for such a fantastic experience!

Great day, learned a lot - Betty is knowledgeable about Florence & art. She has a friendly & helpful teaching style. She chose a quiet location for us to work, which was welcome because Florence was really crowded that day.
