Guido Is The Reason

5.00We had a lovely time painting with Guido in the Piazzale del Museo Borghese! Guido is a phenomenal artist! He provides all the supplies and encouragement to paint several masterpieces. A great way to slow the day down and take it all in. Be sure to ask Guido about his dog and daughters!
Even a beginner can paint a tree!

5.00Guido is a kind and thoughtful person and a skilled painter and teacher. I’m a very beginner painter and he made me feel at ease. He tailored the activities to meet my needs. I left with a stack of paintings and happy memories of painting in the Borghese Gardens.

5.00Even though we had a hard time finding each other,Guido made every effort to find me and make sure I had a positive experience. We chatted and painted all afternoon. We were pleasantly interrupted by curious onlookers who only enhance the experience of being in the Villa Borghese. Guido is very talented and gently modeled by example. He shared some of his art, as well as some of others who had painted with him. It was a unique experience and one I would do again.
My first plein aire water color.

5.00The class was fun and relaxing at the same time. I learned a lot about watercolor in a short time and left feeling more confident. Guido is an amazing teacher and also helped me get out of head and just create. Highly recommend- it is a great way to have an individualized keepsake from your trip to Rome.

5.00My mother-in-law who is a watercolor painter and I joined Guido on a private experience of the Villa Borghese. She loved the experience painting fountains situated in a beautiful setting of the Borghese park. Guido is very talented artist that was could work with anyone who does or does not have experience with drawing and/or watercolor. Guido is a great teacher, and conversationalist. He made us feel so welcomed in Rome. Thank you Guido for a wonderful and memorable time. Katya and Judy
Relaxing afternoon!

5.00Guido was such a lovely guide. It was really nice to explore the gardens and take a break from the hustle of the city. I am someone who enjoys painting as a hobby already but still learned new techniques and found the afternoon to be very relaxing. Thank you again!
