Painting Class Rome: Paint & Wine in a 17th-Century Studio

The experience

The studio sits in a 17th-century palazzo in the Monti area, and the class starts with your instructor walking you through the basics, no experience needed. You'll work on a canvas while sipping unlimited Italian wine and eating Roman-style pizza, the pace set by the group around you. The instructor guides the whole room through recreating some of Rome's most recognizable sites and landscapes, so by the end of the afternoon you have a souvenir that came from your own hand, not a gift shop shelf.

Everything is provided: canvas, paints, brushes and the rest of the equipment. Non-alcoholic beverages are available for anyone under 18 or who prefers to skip the wine. The 2.5-hour session gives you time to actually finish something you'll want to keep, and the whole thing wraps up with your canvas dry enough to carry home the same day.

What’s included
