UPDATES.....
paintED.tours had very successful tours to Italy in 2011, then France in 2013, and then in 2015 to VENICE & RADDA in CHIANTI .....
Next tour was again to Italy 2017 to Venice & Santa Margherita on the Italian Riviera,......I returned on October 8th after a wonderful tour with sunny days (except one!) All 11 of my students had a great time...though Venice was very crowded...difficult to find large enough painting sites for all of us!! Santa Margherita was stunning.....next planned tour is in 2019...TO FRANCE!! NICE as our city location and a small mediaeval French village nearby in Provence for our regional location.
