We always have a wonderful time in Italy.

This group photo was taken in the courtyard at LaRomita, 2 hours north of Rome.
People were from Arizona, California, Texas, Chicago, Virginia, Oregon and Washington.

Room at La Romita, Italy

The walls are actually white, but as the setting sun shines into this bedroom at La Romita the color is a warm yellow.

Sketching in Italy using watercolor, Copic Markers, and/or colored pencils is the way I like to work. I also teach the use of brown ink or Sepia ink because the warm line fits very well with the tile roof tops, brick buildings and stone walkways of Italy.

We'll eat Italian food by our local cooks and learn through sketching how to see and understand this remarkable place.
