Sketch Paint Wander with me in Umbria!
This one is special.
We’re heading back into the streets, hills, and quiet corners of Umbria with artist Jenny Neal for a week of sketching and watercolor—right on location.
You’re not sitting in a classroom. You’re out in the village… in Spoleto… in Spello… even sketching while a 200 year old outdoor oven is fired up for a focaccia lunch in the garden.
Everything is set up for you—easels, paints, guidance if you want it—but the real point is slowing down and actually seeing the place.
Mornings in Vallo.
Afternoons painting.
Evenings wandering, eating, and talking about what you made.
It’s a full week—transportation, meals, excursions—all taken care of. The only thing you really have to do is show up and be open to it.
August 14–20
Vallo di Nera, Umbria
