Description:
The Advanced Landscape workshop provides an opportunity for experienced painters to work intensively in one location and develop a focused body of longer term work. Instructors will work closely with individual students to assist in the realization of creative goals.
We will not offer this program in 2026 as we are working on a new project in Aliano in the province of Matera. See the dates for 2027 below.
