****************************************************************************
Our first plein air experience in Croatia this Fall, is with Tom Francesconi of Homewood, Illinois.
Tom’s passion for watercolor and his love for teaching combine to create a dynamic workshop experience that is enjoyable, informative and inspirational. Tom’s watercolor workshops focus on the importance of concept and how to bring an original idea to fulfillment with paint. Tom will discuss such topics as value relationships, planning the painting, design principles, and usage of color. A variety of daily demonstrations allow participants to see how Tom approaches a work from concept to finish. The demonstrations include a range of subjects from landscapes to figurative. Students work from their own references as they are presented each day with new challenges intended to promote thought and encourage exploration. Ample opportunity is provided for everyone to paint with individual direction/guidance a priority. Group critiques allow everyone an opportunity to learn from the works of others.
When I first asked Tom to join our team he was excited to be able to learn about a new part of the world and even more excited to be able to share this experience with his students. Tom, from what I have gathered, is a fun loving guy, and from our conversations, at some point he always makes me laugh out loud. His passion for his work comes out in his conversations, interviews and biography, and quite honestly I cannot wait to work with him!
Our dates run from September 1-10, 2012 and our last registration date is July 1st. If you have any questions about the tour, you are welcome to leave a comment below or contact us by email, if it is painting related then I will be sure to pass it on to Tom for an answer.
Join us, you will not regret it!
