Overview

The experience is for you who would like to discover Florence with a brush in your hand see the city through new eyes sketching, painting and discover what Florence looks like through an artists lens. Being in Florence means surrounded by art, if you are a creative soul and would like to be creative yourself or you kids would like to create their own masterpieces this course is for you. The course is also for you who would like to get you sketchbook started, or simply dust off old drawing/painting skills. In case of rain or bad weather we'll be on a covered terrace with a fantastic view. The course is for all levels, both beginners and more experienced. My way of teaching is very individual and we'll start from your level and step by step progress from there. We are mostly sitting on stairs or standing during the class so please let me know in advance if you have special needs and I would schedule the class so that we'll go to a place where we can site down during the session.

Meeting points

We'll meet in Piazza del Duomo number 10 blue (10 written in blue not red) and from there go to the location which is only a short walk away.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

This is an outdoor activity and inspired by the beauty of Florence we'll work to get it down on paper. During the class we'll get in touch with both drawing and watercolor. I will be next to you during the whole session with useful tips on composition, perspective, light and shade, color mixing, trying out different techniques and materials and working step by step to create your own "masterpieces". Florence is often sunny but don't worry if you have booked a rainy day. In case of rain or bad weather the class will take place on a covered terrace with a fantastic view to the Dome of Florence. It is difficult to give an exact address of where the activity will take place as it very much depends of the weather. The activity is wheelchair friendly/accessible but it's very important to inform me in advance, in order to prepare the session to full fill all needs. I will bring all what we need of materials during the class. Check my Instagram profile: @bettyritschel @myflorenceexperience @florencewatercolours

Wonderful!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our daughters had a private lesson with Betty. She was patient and helpful, provided lots of positive, individual attention, and gave really useful examples of technique. In three hours, our daughters gained technical skills they will use forever, along with a personal watercolor of Florence they will always treasure. Her passion for the medium truly inspired our daughters and they've been pestering us ever since the lesson to buy them a watercolor set so they can continue to paint. It was one of our daughters' favorite parts of our trip to Florence. Betty also provided us a very thoughtful and comprehensive list of restaurants and places to visit in Florence.

A Magical Watercolor Experience in Florence

Published on Jan, 2025

My daughter Abigail and I had the most wonderful time at Betty's watercolor class in Florence! The setting was absolutely inspiring, surrounded by the beauty and charm of the city, and the experience was even better than we imagined. Betty is an incredible instructorā€”so kind, patient, and encouraging. She guided us step-by-step, ensuring we felt comfortable regardless of our skill level, and helped us bring our creative visions to life. Her passion for art is contagious, and she created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone in the class. We left with not only beautiful pieces of art but also cherished memories of a special day spent together. I highly recommend this class to anyone, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking to explore Florence through a creative lens. Thank you, Betty, for such a fantastic experience!

Great day, learned a lot

Betty is knowledgeable about Florence & art. She has a friendly & helpful teaching style. She chose a quiet location for us to work, which was welcome because Florence was really crowded that day.
