Up to speed: part 2

Then what happened?

We made our way by train to Lucca for what turned out to be 10 most fabulous days.

You know when you book something well in advance and you never quite know how it will go.

And in another country?

Well it was FANTASTIC!

 

 

 

10 days at the Casa Fiori doing a sketching class with James Richards:

Follow your Senses in Tuscany.

Everything about it was sooo good: food, wine, and my lovely classmates.

The days were structured so rest days (sketching at the casa) were alternated with sight seeing and sketching.

( I hope that link works. I'm not finding blogsy so great for doing this. But do look it up as they have another workshop next May as well others with other tutors)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe I'll show my sketches next post?

Up to speed: part 1

Hello Italy.

I have been here for more than 2 weeks but just haven't found the time to blog.

You get out of practise don't you?

Prepare for overload....

 

 

 

We started with 3 days in Rome revisiting the sites from my younger days.

 

Most things are more beautiful than I remember but fences keeping you further back:

I'm pretty sure I dangled my feet in the Trevi fountain.

Now it's the battle of the selfie.

Next instalment: Tuscany.
