Paint Under a Tuscan Sun is a unique opportunity to spend up to two weeks in a beautiful villa in the center of Tuscany, Italy.  The trip is an informal group experience being planned both for tourists and for artists.  While both weeks will provide artists the opportunity to pursue their creative endeavors in a beautiful setting, the first week will be organized more for tourists wishing to vist Florence, Siena, Arezzo and other destinations in Tuscany and Umbria.  The second week will include tourist visits along with painting excursions in the Tuscan countryside.
