Super interesting experience, both for me who had no experience, and for my boyfriend who really likes drawing. The girl who followed us was super kind and helpful, especially very patient. Highly recommended
Set by a romantic Venetian canal, Petra our artist guide, clearly explained how to capture the colors, lines and shadows of Venice. This experience is 1.5 hours, and gives an introduction to watercolor sketching and painting. It is a pleasant way to spend your time being creative and learning something new in this magical place. The meetup spot is at the Prison Museum entrance under the shady portico, near the Bridge of Sighs steps on the canal.
Loved this experience. The instructor shared some basic skills and made sure to continue to offer support and suggestions, but in a way that was relaxing and supportive. We had a mix of zero artistic skill and established skills and it was fun for all of us. Highly recommend.
Watercolor painting is challenging - add in a 10 minute walk to the final location, a demo that took over a half hour to watch, and you're left with not enough time to paint the scene that you choose, unless you already have a lot of experience.
Dear guest, thanks a lot for the positive feedback about the tour and for choosing us. We are glad to know that everything went well and we hope to see you again in Venice very soon! Best regards, Customer Care Team
Excellent experience. The artist was very friendly and competent. I recommend this activity if you are going to Venice.
Excellent coexistence and art learning in Venice, the classmates and teacher were very nice.
The weather was poor (raining) so we ended up in the studio which was understandable. It ended up being just the 2 of us and the artist was very patient with us as we are just beginners. He gave us some great tips about using the watercolours, creating the palette, setting up the painting and the how to construct the image. The image he chose seemed way to detailed for us but he was able to have us produce something recognisable in the 2 hour session. He is a great communicator and teacher. We would wholeheartedly recommend this experience.
It was such a pleasure to follow Nicola’s instructions. Starting with evaluating which scene we wanted to paint followed by a pencil sketch them moving to the water coloring was fun! Highly recommend!!! We also enjoyed shopping in Nicola’s gallery. Ciao!
I truly enjoyed this experience. I was a bit scared to go there since I am not too good at painting but the class is for everyone. I definitely recommend
Dear guest, we are so glad to know that you enjoyed the Watercolors class. Thanks for the positive feedback and for choosing us. We hope to see you again in Venice. Regards Lucrezia - Venice Tours
Absolutely a breathtaking experience, never in my life did I think I would be standing next to an enchanting canal in VENICE, painting away live! The painter has many many years of experience and such a nice gentleman to work with. Oh gosh how I miss Venice!!!
