Lucca and the Cinque Terre with BETTY CARR WATERCOLOR JUNE 6-16, 2016 $3495 Painters / $3295 Non Painters

Fly into Florence and we will bring you to Santa Margherita Ligure, the gateway to the Cinque Terre on the western shore of the Ligurian Sea. There are five little villages, built into the rocks between the beach and the terraced hills. Because there is so much to see, we’ll spend 5 nights there, staying in a lovely, centrally located hotel. Besides the Cinque Terre towns, we also will go to Portofino to paint for an afternoon. Then on to Lucca, the most graceful of Tuscany’s provincial capitals. Lucca is an ancient town with a unique center completely enclosed by monumental 15th century walls. People love to walk or bicycle on the wide, peaceful wall shaded by plane or chestnut trees. From here you can look down into the town’s fine buildings and graceful gardens. What an excellent vantage point for painting and photography!

Included: Tuition, 10 nights lodging (double occupancy), all breakfasts, 5 dinners, transportation within the area , tips and taxes.

IRELAND with MEL STABIN AWS, NWS $3495 painters / $3295 non-painters JULY 1-11, 2016 WATERCOLOR

Get ready to PAINT GREEN! Western Ireland is a place of rugged beauty, wonderfully warm people and more green than you ever believed possible. We'll be staying in a superb hotel in Enistymon, a colorful town with a great cemetery that overlooks the town. North Clare is one of Ireland's best kept secrets and Ennistymon is a handy base from which to explore. In this area you will discover the dramatic cliffs of Moher, which rise vertically 700 feet out of the sea in a serpentine five-mile wall. We’ll take local transport to the harbor and a ferry across to the nearby Aran Island of Innishmor which is like stepping back into another century. The small island is a delightful pattern of stone walls and tiny green fields topped by the ruins of one of Ireland’s ubiquitous castles and Gaelic is spoken by

the locals.

Arrive on Sept. 11 in Naples, at any hour you wish. On Sept.12 we will be picked up and taken to Ravello on a high bluff above the coastal town of Amalfi. Ravello is a wonderful location for painters. You’ll get all the lovely components of architecture, flora and fauna that you’ll want to paint without the hordes of tourists. The famous Amalfi coast views are spectacular from our terrace. The restaurant at the hotel is excellent. There is a pool, but the weather is so temperate, and perhaps on the cool side, that you may not need to use it to cool off. Perfect painting weather. While there, we will go down to Amalfi and also take a ferry to Positano for sketching, shopping and sight-seeing. Most of the time we’ll stay in Ravello because there is so much to paint and we have a covered outdoor studio to use when we want it. There could be a concert or two at night that you might want to attend in Ravello.

On the way back to Naples, we will stop for a guided tour of Pompeii. The last night is in Naples, so you may plan your return flight at any hour on Sept. 21st.
