Francesco Fontana Fine Artista

Sicily

Painting in Sicily, Italy Workshop

Palermo & Cefalù plein air on the beach

This workshop is a re-discovery of my native city Palermo, both on the seaside and in its historical center. We'll be based in the sea village of Mondello, right on the cross road of its 2-mile-long beach. We will also do sightseeing and painting downtown Palermo, in the bewitching centro storico. My workshop in Sicily last year, included a day painting trip to Cefalù. People loved it so much, I decided to schedule a three day stay in Cefalù (View photos on FB).

Our hotel in Mondello is established within the grace of an early '900 century Art Nouveau vacation town, and in the sunlight of this former fishers' village. On the other side of the Mount Pellegrino (what a breathless view from its top!) Palermo is an amazing combination of different cultural heritages. Dominations include the presence of Arabs, Normands, Greeks and Spanish, who left their trace in the arts, sciences and architecture.

Not to mention the richness and delight of the food tradition. An ancient land of great contradictions and strong flavors, not easy to forget.

A very enjoyable experience. Francesco offers a well-run workshop with solid instruction, tailored to suit individual levels – from beginners to professionals. His skill with language makes it possible for a multi-cultural group to share artistically. Bruce – USA / Malta
