Summary

Painting and drawing course at the SANTUARIO DELLA MADONNA del CAMINE
Carmelite monastery of San Felice del Benaco
on the south-western shore of Lake Garda

A few relaxing days await you on beautiful Lake Garda in an appreciative atmosphere.
We will stay in the guest house of the monastery, which is directly connected to the pilgrimage church. It has a room for painting, a beautiful monastery garden with old olive trees and a large terrace with tables and chairs. An ideal place to paint and draw outside. Smaller theory units and individual guidance will support you in all aspects of creative work. In the village of San Felice del Benaco, just a few minutes' walk away, we meet daily to sketch typical Italian street scenes and travel memories. The Santuario della Madonna del Carmine monastery is about two kilometers from the lakeshore.

Micheline Zébière

The course offered a maximum range of theory and practice for various artistic ambitions: Perspective, portraiture, urban sketching and more. You could devote yourself to your preferences and try out new things. The lecturer supported and encouraged everyone individually, regardless of their level. Her art therapy training also provided an excellent background for the group dynamics.
