Italy Plein Air

Wish I could join your paintouts :)

You will join from time to time :)

Paint-outs in Italy?? Woah yeah!

But Italy Plein Air deserves a better image that the three green stooges. I'm sure you can come up with one!

Thanks Tony!(just sent me this link) Going to be painting in Venice next week so bit far from Florence but it is Italy!

Hi All, I painted around Bagno Vignoni several times since the 90s and must get back again soon to complete many unfinished studies. It's a lovely spot in Val D'Orcia about an hour's drive south of Sienna. Hope to hook up with you there soon.

Hi Tony, It's great you like it. Drop in Florence!

The green of the three stooges is similar to olives colors, thats why I chose this image, I joke... I'm searching now in 1000 of my photos the wright one to put instead.

Hi Suzanne, if you like to join us for a paint outs in Florence you are more then welcome.

Hi John, good you mentioned about Bagno Vignoni, beautiful place! If you planning go to Italy, please let us know. Hope see you soon.

Thanks Karina! I'm only in Venice a short while so will paint there but I am a big fan of Florence so I am sure I will be back to visit there soon. :)

We are off to Italy next week and I hope to get some sketching done,  we have only one day in Venice but hope to get back for a longer stay - anyone going to host it ?

I'm just turning up on my own Norah. Did you mean that? Sorry if I've misunderstood!!!

A good place to meet might be the Piscaria Fish Market? You can't miss its famous red tarpaulin screens. Theres a little quiet square through the archway at the back where there are a couple of cafes.

I was thinking in terms of a painting trip Tony and Suzanne - possibly next spring, 

Next week I am going to Lake Garda with my husband (with the travel dept) and we are going on organised trips - only one day in Venice so I will probably have limited time to paint Tony  - I have seen Ken Howards dvd where he does a sketch in the fish market - looks great.

Too bad, Suzanne and Norah. Hope you both enjoy it very much. I'm sure you will.

Teaching Positano / Amalfi Coast in May! Aaahhhh... how I do miss living in Italy.

Sono Americana, ma ho abitato a Italia per otto mese pochi anni fa.

Hi Lory, sound really good Amalfi Coast event. I wish see you guys at work, but unfortunutaly I will be in Naples and Campania region one month ealier for en Easter. Good luck with the event!

Positano is beautiful, though I still have vivid memories of scarily crazy taxi journeys there!

I like the new look badge for the Italy Group! Bello!

Grazie Plein Eire Administrator :)

Well Karina

This is definitely a Paint out to aim for!

Hope it goes great for you

Hi Tom, that's great news!

Just in case the meeting point is at 12 pm under the Uffizi Arches on the river side. I will be painting there anyway, the first one. And after painting we are going to Old Stove, Irish pub on Piazza della Signoria https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Old-Stove-Signoria-Irish-pub/171...,

Hi All, thank you for joining yesterday Paint-out. Was great to see, that so many of you are interested in Plain air.

Keep in touch and hope see you again in next two weeks.

Hi Karina and Italy Plein Air. It's nice to be part of your group! I have loved painting in Italy over the years, it's just so beautiful. This year I'm running a one-week painting holiday in Alghero, Sardinia May 22-29 - my friend Fabiano Mulas (a Sardinian who lives in Galway) is organising the trip for me. If anyone is interested please go to my website www.http://johndinan.com/art-classes/sardinia-landscape.html  or email me at jdinan@eircom.net

Thank you and wishing you many great plein air outings in 2014 around Florence - I'm so jealous. Ciao!

Everybody are welcome!

Good to meet Tom Byrne, Rachel Personnett and Toby Neve at Art in the Open '14. Whassup in Florence or the rest of Italy at the moment? Any plein air happening?

For sure in October in Florence :)

Hi Karina,

I'm a plein air painter in Rome (I used to live in Florence) and I'll be back in Florence painting from the 23rd of October for a couple of days. I have some friends staying at Palmerino, which is a villa just under Miano and will be painting a bit out there, but would also come and paint around the center some depending on the crowds. Maybe we could meet up then and paint together? And of course if anyone else is around as well to join us!

Thanks,

kelly

Hi Kelly,

Thank you for letting us know.

Palmerino sound interesting is quite near to Fiesole, actually we were thinking about this area too. They let us paint with easels? I had some problems in few villas, they don't aloud... See you soon in Rome :) and Florence.

All the best,

Karina

Thank you. Someday I hope to come and paint with you. I must have missed you AITO 14. I was there too, but there were so many. Maybe next year we shall meet.

Hello David,

You are more then welcome here, Florence and Tuscany really can inspire. I wasn't at the last AITO 14. For sure we will meet next year.

Hi All,

Paint out this weekend, all are welcome! http://pleineire.ning.com/events/italy-plein-air-3
