Florence Painting Class - Experience Tuscany Outdoors 

A serene painting workshop in the heart of Tuscany: For travellers & creatives seeking relaxation, tranquility, and beauty, guided by a local artist.

Are you dreaming of an inspiring art experience in Tuscany – one that you can take home as a beautiful, lasting memory? If the idea of painting in a dreamy landscape, surrounded by Renaissance architecture, cypress trees, and rolling hills resonates with you, then my plein-air painting workshop is designed for you.

As a travel artist inspired by Italy, I've spent countless hours painting in the gardens and piazzas of Florence. In doing so, I developed a profound connection with the city and discovered a renewed sense of self. Now, I'd love to share a piece of this magic with you.

In this 2-hour plein air workshop, both beginners and advanced painters are welcome - no experience required. You can choose your favourite spot in Florence, or let me guide you to one of my favourite painting locations, such as the romantic Giardino delle Rose or the charming Ponte Vecchio. Using watercolours, we will immerse ourselves in the calming beauty of Tuscany. This is a unique art experience in Italy, perfect for anyone looking to create authentic memories beyond the usual sightseeing.

Curious who will guide your art class?

I am Sonja, a travel-inspired artist with roots in Germany and Poland, but my heart feels at home in Italy. In Florence, I guide others in experiencing the soul of Tuscany through my painting workshops.

"For me, painting outdoors is about being fully present and connecting with a place through the heart. It’s a chance to experience yourself in a new way and let beauty unfold naturally."
