I just finished four weeks of drawing training at The Florence Art Studio and I can't recommend it enough. If you're fantasizing about running off to Italy to become an artist, that's exactly what Gary and the team deliver in the awe-inspiring city of Florence. The studio itself is a beautiful, creative space focused primarily on the sight-size technique which means drawing and painting things in the exact size and scale that you see them. This not your average community art class, but don't let that scare you away. Everyone can learn with the right teachers and Gary, Alessandro, and Ludovico are those teachers. Gary will guide you calmly and directly through the bumpy bits. Ludovico will challenge you and push you to do more and move faster. And Alesandro will quietly observe how you work and then hone in on ways to help you improve your drawing. You will benefit from each of the teachers and you will see a distinct improvement in your drawing ability in a short period of time. You can also look forward to lively discussions on life and art over coffee each afternoon. By the time you're done, you'll be walking through the Uffizi Galleries commenting on how there are no curves–only straight lines the work of the Renaissance masters and seeing shapes everywhere. This is the beginning of your transformation as an artist.

I wish to say that the Florence Art Studio was and will be again the best practical drawing and painting experience I can imagine. Gary Adcock's peerless instruction is perfectly paced and ever attentive to the details. Nothing escapes his passionate spirit. And all this against the background of the Renaissance city itself !! The traditional teaching approach is solid. There is time for talk too. The streamlined instruction is , I believe, a refinement of the Academies.... all the rigour and very hands-on. There's no hit and giggle but rather a highly satisfying sense of purpose and achievement. That's how it went for me. I have used enough adjectives to witness my feeling of complete satisfaction with this gem of a studio. As that other Renaissance Man, Bart Simpson said : Enough talk, let's do it.
