Kathleen Lanzoni, watercolor artist, Boulder Colorado

Kathleen is an award-winning artist with a passion for watercolor painting and life! Painting in the studio as well as Plein Air (outdoors on location), she immerses herself in the fluid and unpredictable qualities of watercolor paint to capture the brilliant light and colors of nature.

Kathleen paints in a realistic painterly style, bringing the effect of changing light and color that describes the atmosphere, context, and shape of the scene to the paper.

Plein Air Painting Workshop

Tuscany, Italy

Imagine an entire week, painting at a private Villa, in the country side of Tuscany! We will stay at a rustic villa for the week with painting excursions to nearby towns.

Once you have arrived in Florence, all is included: transportation, lodging, excursions, food and wine. The villa includes our own private chef!

We’re currently working behind the scenes with our production partner to finalize all the details. In the meantime, if you’d like to be among the first to receive information about the workshop, let me know and I will add your name to our interest list. There’s no commitment at this stage. Once details are confirmed, you’ll receive full information and have the opportunity to register.
