Tuscany Plein Air Painting Workshop with Niki Gulley

"Sienna Passageway" ©2011 Niki Gulley SOLD • pastel • 10" x 8" Just sold! I painted this pastel of Sienna, Italy on our last Plein Air Painting & Photography workshop that my husband and I taught in Tuscany. Sienna is such an interesting town, with the narrow cobble streets forming a labyrinth of passageways, the energy of the people in the central square, the ancient stone architecture and unusual adornments, and the picturesque views from the rambling hillsides. We just love it! From our last Tuscany workshop, one of my students composing her painting of one of the picturesque Tuscan hill towns. If you'd like to join us for our next Tuscany Plein-Air Painting & Photography Workshop, Sept. 2 -10, e-mail Niki Gulley for more information, or visit nikigulley.com/?page_id=13 . With limited space and a final registration deadline of April 9th quickly approaching, let me know if you'd like to join us! NikiGulley.com

Tuscan Hill Town Pastel by Niki Gulley

“Sienna Passageway” © 2010 Niki Gulley Pastel 12” x 9” Yesterday we visited the medieval walled city of Sienna in Italy. I love the cobbled streets and stone architecture of the buildings, and watching the world go by in the town square with a gelato just like the locals. Pastels are the perfect medium for capturing a quick sketch of the cobbled alleyway filled with dramatic light and unique shadows.
