TEXTURES OF ITALY with Debra Bonsack

Umbria is known for its stone pavers, peeling painted doors, laundry hanging off ornate windows, vast landscapes and classical antique architecture. What better way to express these beautiful textures than with that of GOLDEN acrylic paint texture mediums and a professional trained to show you how!

Artist/ teacher, Debra Bonsack gave herself the gift of La Romita School of Art 20 years ago, took the vision and ran with it. She has been showing her textural paintings all over the world and paying her way with her success.

Now Bonsack offers you a chance to give yourself this gift. GOLDEN Artist Colors has spent a week of their time and $ teaching this accomplished artist all their latest mediums to create texture. She is willing to share her secrets and her Golden paint experience with you in this beautiful setting.

We will travel to a different village or location daily, sketching and photographing to soak in the space. You are invited to Plein air paint on location or take your studies back to the studio to develop texture. After dinner Artists will be meeting in the Studio to critique, share our finds, and learn new textures. Artists can work there as long as they want developing their studies. Paint, eat, paint! What else is there! “The best thing I ever did for myself.”

A favorite quote of mine, by Louis Nizer:

He who works with his hands is a laborer.
He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.

Because I so believe in this and I teach in all mediums, I encourage artists to invent their own techniques or simply work with the classics. Be warned, you will not be able to complete this workshop without seeing a change in your style, methods and techniques.
