Plein Air Positano &
the Amalfi Coast
with artist/instructor
Dino Massaroni
October 13-20, 2012

 
Positano
Positano
Your instructor will be Dino Massaroni, an accomplished and award winning landscape and portrait artist. He has conducted and taught painting workshops for over twenty-five years. His work is in private and corporate collections worldwide.

You'll learn to achieve successful results and capture the fleeting effects of light quickly and assuredly as Dino reveals his plein painting secrets.

During the week we will stay in the village of  Positano, with visits to Amalfi, Ravello, Montepurtuso and Priana. We will explore the Amalfi Coast, with quality time for plenty of painting at each of the towns we visit. We will also have a free-day during which you may plan a visit to the island of Capri.
 
And, in true Toscana
Americana Workshops style, we will explore the local Italian culture, cuisine and wines with dinners in local cliff-side restaurants 100's feet above the water! This is bound to be a wonderful week with plenty of opportunity to paint "plein air" in a relaxed
and inspirational setting!
Through demonstrations and individual instruction, Dino will guide participants through a process designed to help obtain greater confidence and pleasure from painting outdoors while improving
artistic vision and skill.

Although Dino will demonstrate in oil color , the principles he shares can be applied to any medium including watercolor. All levels and meduims are welcome!
  
Participants are required to provide their own art supplies, preffered paints, brushes & tools along with a portable easel.

Accommodations are intended as follows:
Positano - 4-Star Hotel Marincanto


Picture Yourself...
Painting the sights and details of beautiful Positano and the Amalfi Coast: Crystal blue water, vineyards, centuries-old buildings,
narrow
winding streets, bold color and vibrant sunlight.
Feel Yourself...
in the warm ambiance of Italy's Amalfi Coast
 
Experience...
the joy of the camaraderie of a small group of enthusiastic painters.
Enjoy...
great Mediterranean  food, delightful wines, new friends, breath-taking vistas, history and the hospitality of local people.
