Italy is full of wonderful scenes to paint: windows draped with colorful flower boxes, old textured stone walls, charming doorways, lively cafe scenes, and rolling hills of vineyards. Let's spend a fun day imagining that we are on vacation, painting our way through Italy! You will create a lasting memory of your travel adventures through painting watercolor paintings, adding mixed-media and incorporating collected treasured items such as postcards, maps, napkins and wine labels. This will be a great way to learn techniques that you can use to create a watercolor art journal while on any adventure. Join Jacqueline on this fun journey to Italy. Ciao Bella!
