We will be walking along the path of Renaissance .

Drawing the city is quite simple, but in this experience we would like to turn a basic sketch into an artistic image that, with a little help and practice, anyone can express. The Renaissance proposed innovation in all fields of knowledge and encouraged experimentation. Let's try to embrace its meaning in a modern way by making art inspired by Florence.

Leonardo experimented and tried to know every aspect of reality by creating and researching. Starting from the drawing to experimentally design an artistic image will be our way of proceeding without forgetting the fun in doing so.

Enjoy few hours as an artist designing your illustration and learn new techniques to express in art your Florentine travel experience.

We will be inspired by the wonder of Florentine architecture and by the Renaissance but in a modern way.

Is not difficult to just embrace creativity!

Feel your artistic potential I will be guiding you step by step.

I can’t give input on this experience as the instructor never showed for the meeting point. There was no response from them when I texted 3 times over a 1/2 hour period ( we arrived 10 - 15 minutes early at the designated meeting point and waited for 15 minutes after the start time). We left at that point and contacted the support team for Viator and hope they follow through with a refund. I can’t say I’ll use them again in the future.
Horrible scam, I guess! Who knows? Viator won't help me.

Horrible! I don't know if this was a scam or what, but I waited and waited and no one showed up or even bothered to call or cancel. Viator gave terrible customer service as well -- unanswered phone call, unanswered chat messages, and now a run-around trying to get my pre-paid money back. It really sucks to set aside vacation time to do an activity and then get scammed and have your time wasted. I will try to get a refund through my credit card company, but my lost vacation time won't ever be refunded.
Nobody was there!

The person didn't show up, didn't announce us of any cancelation. They didn't respond to our phone calls or messages. Our daughter was so disappointed as we made the appointment more than a month in advance and she was really looking forward to it. It felt like we were scammed.
Amazing art class!!

Francesca is very dynamic and. kind. She has a wealth of knowledge in architecture and tourism. She speaks Italian, English and French, that is a competitive advantage. Last month we had booked a tour in Venice for our clients from Cameroon and due to an impromptu situation , the tourist guide we had hired could not follow through with the tour. In our search for another guide we got Francesca 's contact and at short notice she went over to Venice to serve our clients with so much excellence. She gave professional advise and readily assisted our guests, exceeding our expectations. We are grateful and looking forward to working on more projects in the nearest future. Nerice
