PAINTING HOLIDAY IN TUSCANY - DAY 9
Watermill, Posara, Tuscany
Leaving Day and here’s my last painting of the week - late afternoon sunlight streaming through the Bamboozery at the Watermill. Sue and I have had a brilliant week with a brilliant group. Really looking forward to returning next year - late August/early September.

PAINTING HOLIDAY IN TUSCANY - DAY 8
Watermill, Posara, Tuscany
Our last full day at the Watermill and a painting trip up a local mountain followed with an excellent exhibition of our week’s work. It’s been fantastic and I’m really sorry it’s almost over. Pisa airport tomorrow and then back to Blighty.

Whole day spent at a local monastery (monks long since gone) - what peace and tranquility.... and sun! Very impressive work from all.

Excursion Day- half the group opted for a day out in Lucca and the other half remained at the Watermill. It’s also the tutor’s day off so here he is on the train from Lucca. The sketch is from the Piazza Ampitheatro.

PAINTING HOLIDAY IN TUSCANY - DAY 5
Watermill, Posara, Tuscany
Early start for those painting the sun rising over the mountains - thanks Peter Friedlander for your photo. Then we spent a morning painting amongst the colourful market in Fivizzano followed by a demonstration of painting wild water at a local waterfall. Day in Lucca tomorrow- great!

PAINTING HOLIDAY IN ITALY - DAY 4
The Watermill, Posara, Tuscany
It’s great being a large group- plenty of chit-chat and exchange of ideas. This morning we visited a castle in a hamlet called Verrucola. However, it’s also great to have the opportunity to take off and paint on your own. Looking forward to visiting a market tomorrow.

Here we go - started the day with some Tai Chi and painting around the mill. Glorious sunshine all day and plenty of takers for the plunge pool.

PAINTING HOLIDAY IN ITALY - DAY 2
The Watermill, Posara, Tuscany
This is my tenth visit as a tutor and it’s every bit as exciting as my first. We’re all at the Watermill now, a group of 14 which includes three non painting partners and the tutor. Not quite as hot here in the mountains as Pisa but nevertheless the plunge pool has obvious attractions - don’t you think? Start the week’s painting tomorrow morning.
