The best of all worlds: artistic growth, delicious food and wine, wonderful people, breathtaking beauty. Completely worthwhile. This workshop went beyond all expectations! You have given me an experience I will always treasure.

(O. Moorehead, Los Angeles, USA, Studio Italia 2018)

What a fabulous experience! I learnt a lot, met great people, saw wonderful places. Thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to doing another one in a not too distant future.

(S. Paine, Christchurch, New Zealand, Atelier Provence& Barcelona 2018)

"Studio Italia is a jewel in the crown of art workshops. The program is so well designed to balance painting, instruction, advice, critique and museum tours by day with long, warm social evenings of conversation".

(K. Gross, San Francisco, US, Studio Italia 2016)

"One of the best holidays and learning experiences I have had in my life. A thought-provoking, reflective, and inspirational short time that I would dearly love to repeat".

(Scanlan, Sydney, Australia, Studio Italia 2013)

I came back amazed with the country and the art (food and drawing). I would do it all over again but stay longer; I enjoyed it that much.

(A. St-Louis, Ottawa, Canada, Studio Colombia Art & Eat 2019)
