First Day of the Cinque Terre / Lake Como Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

10" x 8" pastel by Niki Gulley Day 1, Monterosso:  CINQUE TERRE / LAKE COMO ART TREK Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams Our first morning in the Cinque Terre, we ended up painting right at the courtyard of our hotel since it was raining and we had a perfect covered patio there.
