Highlights
  • Piazza del Duomo, 10 - This is an outside activity and inspired by the beauty of Florence we’ll try to get it down on paper. During the class we’ll get in touch with both drawing and watercolor.
    In the end of the class you’ll come away with a drawing and a watercolor painting.

The activity is wheelchair friendly/accessible but it’s very important to inform me in advance, in order to prepare the session and full fill all needs.

I will be next to you during the whole session with useful tips on composition, perspective, light and shade, color mixing, trying out different techniques and materials and working step by step to create your own “masterpieces”.

We are going to watch autumn and winter but don’t worry if you have booked a rainy day because in case of rain or bad weather the class will take place on a covered terrace with a fantastic view to the Dome of Florence.

I will bring all what we need of materials during the class.

Additional Information

If you’re keen on exploring Florence from a unique perspective, this experience is perfect for you. Imagine walking through the city with a paintbrush in hand, viewing it through the eyes of an artist, sketching and painting as you uncover the artistic side of Florence. The city of Florence is an art haven, and if your creative spirit or your children’s knack for artistry is calling, this course is tailored-made for you.

If you’re interested in starting a sketchbook or dusting off your rusty drawing or painting skills, this course is just right.

Designed for all skill levels from beginners to the more skilled, I use a highly personalized teaching approach. We will start from your current mastery and progress gradually from there.

Please note, most of our time is spent sitting on steps or standing during the class. If you have specific needs, do notify me in advance so I can arrange for a location that allows us to sit during the session.

Wonderful painting and drawing workshop with amazing teacher! - This workshop was wonderful!!! It was a unique experience with an absolutely amazing and talented teacher. Betty was skilled, professional, kind, and patient, taking time to work individually with each student. Additionally, we went to a local library with an incredible elevated view of the Duomo - an experience I would never have had if it were not for Betty and her wonderful workshop. I highly recommend this experience to everyone - it was fun, unique, and very very special. I can’t wait to frame my painting! Thank you, Betty!

Art and fun in Firenze - Betty was wonderful with my nine years old daughter. It was her first painting class and Betty made the time fly by, which is essential when you are with a child. Rafaela was delighted with her own production.

Fantastic - Fantastic activity to do as a family - made everyone really pay attention to the beautiful building we were drawing and encourages us all to do sketches on the rest of our travels. It was a lovely pause in the day and escape from the queues and crowds! Would thoroughly recommend

A must for artists visiting the city - Betty was incredibly kind, communicative, and knowledgeable not only about art technique but also history. Her teaching was great for beginners and advanced students alike. She took us to a unique location that had an incredible view of the duomo, which felt like a secret spot for locals. It was a highlight of the trip to Florence. I highly recommend!

Wonderful experience for a true beginner! - This class was fantastic! Betty's approach to drawing and water color was relaxed, encouraging and straight forward. I had zero experience yet walked away excited about continuing to draw! Most of all it was great fun!

Watercolours of the Duomo - The class with Betty was so very lovely. She choose a perfect place for our study, and she was very patient throughout. I like a teacher who allows you to bring your own flair whilst being sure to teach you the skill properly - she was just that. I definitely recommend attending one of her sessions!
