This picture, by Watermill paining tutor Maggie Renner Hellmann, perfectly captures the beauty and timelessness of the Tuscan countryside. No wonder she calls it Tuscan Magic.
Maggie is back with us for another of her inspiring Courageous Color Workshops this May – and there is only one place left (or two sharing). See below for links to grab that place.
Maggie says of her course here last year: “A perfect blend of Art and Adventure, with an immersion into the joys of Tuscan life… a real bucket shop experience!” Here’s another Tuscan painting by Maggie, this time in acrylic:
Maggie has built up quite a portfolio of works from her visit to the Watermill last year and we are looking forward to seeing even more great paintings when she returns this May. Here’s another delightful acrylic, caled Last Light Tuscany.
Maggie Renner Hellmann is a contemporary California artist who paints with love, passion and energy. Her work is characterized by a unique blend of loose, energetic brushwork and strong compositions of exuberant colour. She says: “I love the joy of color and the poetry of brushwork.”
Maggie is also an enthusiastic tutor who has been teaching for more than 15 years – and loves it! Her workshop here this May will cover oils, acrylics, pastels and watercolour. Here’s what one of our guests said about her course here last year: “Our experiences at the Watermill were definitely the highlights of our tours! Maggie’s gentle and helpful manner coupled with technical skill and aesthetic sense opened the gates of motivation for students, making them comfortable in their new surroundings and primed for an exciting creative experience in those beautiful hills of Tuscany. I also appreciated Maggie’s husband, Lou’s ready assists for our physical comforts. What a dream adventure, the two of you, along with Bill and Lois, prepared for all of us!”! “
Another commented: Maggie is good at teaching in all mediums and with all levels. She did wonderful demos in watercolour, acrylic, pastel and oil. Every day we did critiques together and learned from each other. I highly recommend this art workshop as well as the most wonderful accommodation with great food and wine. A little piece of heaven in experiencing Italy.”
