Description
Nestled among the rolling Chianti hills overlooking San Gimignano, the ancient rural village of Borgo Poneta has been transformed into a charming agriturismo.
It’s hard to capture in just a few words the beauty and enchanting atmosphere that fills this place. Walking through its historic farmhouses, barns, and granaries—now carefully restored in classic Tuscan style with a deep respect for the environment—you’ll discover cozy apartments, a museum of rural life, and spaces designed for comfort and relaxation.
Draw up close to the living detail of nature! This morning session offers an introduction to drawing and watercolor techniques used in botanical illustration. While primarily a scientific practice, botanical illustration offers plenty of surprises in the close-up observation of plantlife. An absorbing and practical opportunity to engage your telescopic eye and take home the results of a close encounter with the intricate wonders of flora in Tuscany.
This experience is designed to welcome both beginners and experienced painters, offering a series of reflections and practical techniques accessible to all. The aim is for each participant to gain something meaningful that extends well beyond the morning spent together, providing inspiration and tools for future artistic exploration.
By the end of the session, each participant will have their own unique works on paper to take home and develop further.
About the Artist
The session will be guided by Josephine Frampton, an English painter living near Tavarnelle, Tuscany. Born and raised in London, she first studied botanical illustration at Kew before moving to Florence, where she explored the fresco technique—painting with powdered pigments on plaster, cement, and later on canvas. For Josephine, painting is above all an alternative to words. Her deep passion for landscape, both real and imagined, will immerse you in a unique artistic experience, introducing practical techniques to inspire your own creative exploration.
