***ENGLISH SPEAKING RETREAT *** Le Tassinaie invites you to the heart of the Maremma for a Botanical Art retreat under the mentorship of Catherine Watters. Catherine will guide you to skillfully observe, measure and draw your subject. You will learn to mix and layer colors, balancing light and shadow to develop form and texture. Students will work in graphite and watercolor, or colored pencils if you prefer. A supply list will be provided upon registration. Catherine is a botanical artist and instructor with over 25 years of teaching experience throughout France and the United States. She co-developed a certificate program and several florilegia. Her paintings are held in various international collections. www.catherinewatters.com
In addition to the precious guidance of Catherine Watters for your artistic creations, Le Tassinaie has teamed up with Slow Life Coach Sandrine Kom, who will offer light yoga, stretching and breathing practices each morning and late afternoon. (For those who wish to continue their art, Catherine will be available). Enjoy gentle meditative yoga to release tension from mind & body, become deeply relaxed and arrive in the present moment to focus on your art. www.quietluxury.it
