Workshop Description<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

Join us for an all-inclusive week of painting in the Tuscan countryside with Victor Otero Carbonell:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hi everyone, I\u2019m Victor and I love the power of painting as a way of self-discovery and personal growth. I conceive painting as an extension of the inner self: how we act over the canvas reflects how we act in our daily lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Expect from this Workshop:
Beyond exploring techniques, this workshop will be an artistic creative lab – a space where we will create an intimate environment to freely explore and express ourselves. You will empower yourself as a painter through valuing and enjoying the journey, rather than the destination.<\/span><\/p>\n


Over five days, portraiture and self-portraiture will be our main focus, serving as a gateway to explore broader themes such as:
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Painting what the eyes cannot see
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Emotional portraiture and self-portraiture
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Colour as a reflection of ourselves
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Accessing creativity and imagination
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Embracing mistakes as tools for creativity
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Tailoring the creative process that suits you
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Becoming closer to the artist you want to be
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Overcoming fears that limit our artistic potential<\/span><\/p>\n


A Note on Materials:
Every participant\u2019s preferred medium is welcome. However, I encourage you to leave your expensive paints at home and bring more affordable art supplies instead – we\u2019ll be experimenting freely and, most importantly, having fun along the way.”\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

During this all-inclusive art workshop, meals will be home-cooked by our wonderful Chef Giovanna, and eaten together in our large dining room, or outside with a panoramic view of the stunning landscape. After class you’ll have free use of the Villa and grounds to explore. During the week we will host some evening events; such as pizza night using our outdoor pizza oven, yoga and sound bath in the ball room, and a night of live music. Many of our evenings will be spent around the fire, under the stars. If you need to unwind after class you can use our sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Or if you prefer to explore you can wander through the woodland, walk, cycle or take the bus into town. \u200bAnd of course you are always welcome to continue practicing your art, sketching outside, or continue painting in our studio, which is always open.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a chance to focus on you and your art, you’ll be living and working together among many other creatives, and alongside Victor, with the opportunity to dive deep into each other’s knowledge and experience – building relationships, whilst making the most of the surrounding nature in this beautiful Tuscan setting. This is a place where you can learn from some of the world’s most inspiring contemporary artists, without judgement or competition, in a beautiful environment, so that your primary focus can be to learn, create, whilst enjoying your time on this planet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
