An exclusive opportunity to paint alongside ‘Pete the Street’ in the Eternal City of Rome in early June when the special light illuminates the architectural gems.
Rome is an architectural masterpiece with an intoxicating mix of classical ruins, extravagant Baroque churches and fountains and glorious Renaissance palaces. These historical landmarks are normally bathed in a special light in June.
Peter Brown is President of the New English Art Club and a leading figurative artist. He is best known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of buildings and street scenes in cities, so Rome greatly appeals to him. Rome is a vibrant city and ‘Pete the Street’ will be capturing the essence of life on the streets, the cobbled alleyways and the bustling café-lined piazzas, as well as the historical landmarks.
Rome’s most famous monuments are located within the Centro Storico, which is traversed by the River Tiber. They include Michelangelo’s spectacular Piazza del Campidoglio, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and the Terme di Caracalla, most of which are now in splendid ruins. The Pantheon, Bernini’s Fountain of Quattro Fiumi, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps are close by. The Vatican City lies across the River Tiber and is dominated by the massive dome of the Basilica di San Pietro.
En plein air painting with Peter Brown
Peter likes to paint from dawn to dusk and will encourage you to make the most of your time in Rome and to produce lots of work. Working alongside Peter is an inspiring and fun experience and he is happy to share his knowledge with you and for you to learn by example. The River Tiber and most of the historical sites are within walking distance of your accommodation and the roof terrace of the hotel will be a great place to capture Rome’s extraordinary layers of history. This is a free-style painting programme that is best suited to experienced artists and confident intermediate students. Peter will be working in oils but all media are welcome. An event host will be with you in Rome to take care of everyone and all the arrangements.
