Paint beside the instructor for a few days and go home with a finished painting.
Workshops are a few days in a small studio. Retreats are ten to fourteen days abroad. Either way you're in a small group of 15 or 16 artists, and your instructor is right there to help you the whole time.
Every year the whole Milan Art community lands in one room for a few days, and people leave changed by who they met there. Join the 2027 waitlist and you'll hear first when registration opens.

I thought painting had to be agony… now I’m in a flow where I’ll always have ideas.
This is my very first oil painting… and now I know I can do it.
I have a BFA and a master’s degree, but I’ve learned more here than anywhere else.
I was hesitant because of my age… but I just plugged in and kept going.
Even if you’ve been painting for years, this program is transformative.
It’s the best art lessons I’ve had in thirty years.
Learning, laughing, and painting together in our Sarasota studio.
