Make Mistakes Art Workshops
Stepping into my garden in the upper part of this enchanting Mediaeval village is a truly unique experience in itself, with 180 degrees views over the hills of Siena, olive trees, birds chirping and an ancient well.
You'll experience a painting workshop which is a lot more than an art class: it is an art party open to all levels and ages, where you'll rediscover the fun of painting and playing with color in a friendly, magical environment.
I am an artist and filmmaker now based in the village of Montisi, but for the past 17 years I have lived in Los Angeles where I have incorporated the skills and enthusiasm of the Californians into my Italian upbringing making me a bridge between Italian and American cultures.
Living in this incredible place is a dream come true for me, and in my workshop I share this dream with you.

What's included in Make Mistakes Art Workshops
(Subject to Option Inclusions)We will walk together to the upper part of the village to my art studio and we will settle in the garden for our painting lesson. In case of a rainy day, a different indoor location will be provided. Inspired by the olive trees, the breathtaking views of the Tuscan rolling hills below, my secluded terrace-garden with an ancient well, I will guide you into a fun, informal painting adventure which has everything to do with playing and enjoying shapes and colors, so that each one can discover their unique voice. Together we will paint and draw using mixed media such as acrylics, watercolors, and pastels, inspired by the natural world of the area: local plants, forest animals, bugs, fruits and vegetables, flowers and the enchanting landscape will ignite our creativity. The tools I will share with you are wonderful for all levels and will empower you to explore at your own pace and level to enter the magical world of colors and play. There will be drinks and healthy local snacks for us to enjoy throughout. You will bring home with you at least three paintings on paper that will remind you in a unique way of this fabulous creative experience.
