The Gorges from our painting site!

Les Gorges du Verdon

By Enzo Medaglia

Turquoise, placid cool waters cutting deep crags against azure skies.  Sailors, painters, explorers entering deep crevices lingering with delicate fingers on the cool liquid we were adrift on.  Young men, bravados, diving from cliffs, children awhirl in delicious sunlight. Alas, alas for some of us yes this is it let us wait awhile, drink in the moment.  More paddling, more sights, more nooks and crannies, more leisure, ahhh!  Atop the crag, hairpin turns, grand vista, colors a palette of hues waiting for the moment to dip into the paint, waiting, looking, feeling, hoping… living!

Who are we?

We all make art! It is part of culture. It is deeply rooted in human nature as a way of communicating with others. We all need to tell our stories because it is stories that link us all. We are all one, one creative mind! Though, all unique and equipped with unique ways of expressing ourselves. We live in constant search of that unique liberating voice. At Walk the Arts we aim to facilitate our art makers to explore new territories. Our painting classes and art history trips on three continents are meant to be rounded art experiences among small groups of like-minded adults. We offer an environment that fosters creativity. As we always say, art as religion is just a matter of faith. This blog is about living fully the experience of art, about finding our single artistic path, about the joy of art-making. We believe that making art accessible to all will lead to a betterment of our society.

Let Go! The Artist’s Way of Cooking

 

Ten years ago, here in Tuscany, we decided to write a recipe book but with so many good cookbooks in the market, we needed to propose a new idea. We had to find a modus operandi close to who we are and what we do as visual artists. The answer was in front of us and painting gave it to us: art and color!

Travelling with meaning : a painting workshop in Italy

 

More and more travellers from the developed world are looking for meaningful travels. We are aiming for journeys that allow us to learn something new, to deepen our culture, to enhance our lives. Purpose, inspiration and self-discovery are now vital elements in our traveling choices. Probably, this is why our quality painting workshops offered since 1997, have become more and more popular.

Traveling after COVID-19.

 

At Walk the Arts we aim to surpass easily-found knowledge on YouTube such as how “to mix your greens”, even “how to paint an Italian landscape”; and if you can learn the latter in a video, why attending a painting workshop in Tuscany? This reality has encouraged us to become a conduit of art knowledge, not a mere repeater of it.
