Enjoyable Art Time, in a beautiful setting! - Guido is a personable Art Instructor, with a variety of techniques to help you improve your artwork. I was the only student that day, and he was flexible about satisfying my requests. He tells amusing stories, and in-between sketching, we laughed about the multitude of dog’s antics in the park. It was both a relaxing, and productive time, spent on my vacation! 🎨

Great experience - I very much enjoyed this experience. Guido was an excellent instructor and it was nice to go out into the parks to sketch different views. The “lessons” started basic to prepare us for more opportunities using various methods. The lesson on perspective was very helpful.

A very pleasant... - A very pleasant morning in the company of Guido, a prepared and friendly guide, who between a chat and the other accompanies you in the exploration of Villa Borghese through the filter of drawing and their memories. Highly recommended to those who like to draw, chat and learn something new, both on drawing and on the approach to it.

What an inspiring time. - I had the most wonderful time with Guido learning how to look at objects and landscapes in a whole new way when sketching. He shared different pens and mediums to show me how they all create a feeling unique to their type for your sketch. He was so much fun to just walk and talk to as well throughout the Gardens. I had a lovely time with an artist who loves to share his passion with others. Thank you Guido!

The sketching session... - The sketching session with Guido was awesome. He is very personable and easy to talk to. Villa Borghese is also the perfect setting. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rome and wants to experience something a little different than the usual touristy things.

Sketching through the eyes of a local - We had a wonderful time after meeting Guido and having him guide us through sketching to painting in a beautiful setting. His stories of being a child growing up with the Villa Borghese as his playground were a great way to immerse ourselves into local ways. Highly recommended

Almost unbelievable! - I sketched! I painted! I made a beautiful work of art, that I'll frame and put on wall, because I'm so proud of it. I'm not sure how Leon taught me during the first half, then we spent the last half using what we learned, as Leon gently coached us one in a while I will use the lessons he taught, and materials he gifted, to keep sketching!
