The course

This course is dedicated to watercolour.

The lessons will be totally focused on teaching with demonstrations provided at every stage, helping students to clearly learn each technique first hand. A step-by-step guide will help you increase your confidence, while still encouraging you to develop your own style.

You will learn the watercolor technique starting from the sketch with small and single-subject paintings. Slowly incorporate previous skills into new paintings. You will learn composition, color management, tonal values, and perspective for the creation of your own artworks where you can tell a story through painting.

The list of materials will be provided to the participants

The watercolour course includes the paper,  100% cotton. The boards and water containers will be provided. If you are a complete beginner you can ask for a set of materials and I can lend you a palette with a minimum of colours and brushes. 

Two excursions:

Guided tour of the center of Turin

Your guide will take you to discover one of the most surprising cities in Italy, following an itinerary that includes squares, churches and royal and noble residences built in Baroque style, and elegant historic cafes dating back to the “Belle Epoque”. We offer a 2-hour walking tour with an English-speaking guide and the option for the afternoon to extend the experience with a private visit to one of the many museums (we have 52 in Turin alone!!) or free time before returning to your hotel.
Transfer from Rivoli to Turin and back can be arranged by taxi or using public transport (bus + metro)

Guided tour of Rivoli

A 2-hour walking tour that starts from the lower and modern city, goes back to its origins, in the Middle Ages, through one of the most interesting historical centers of the region. Narrow streets, panoramic views of medieval and baroque palaces and churches, up to the top of the hill, where the Castle (now the Museum of Contemporary Art) stands and dominates from the highest point of the last slope of the Alps for the last ten centuries, looking towards Turin
