Featured on the Cover of National Geographic Traveler, Cooking-Vacations.com has teamed up with U.S. Artists, Cindy Briggs and Theresa Goesling, for the first time to teach travelers about painting and cooking in Venice.
“Venice offers the artist inspirational sights that are a natural draw for any artist. We add depth to the experience hosting the tour in the heart of Venice, sharing our local knowledge, team, and also our culinary expertise with a tour and hands-on cooking class,” states Lauren Birmingham, owner of Cooking-Vacations.com.
Goesling and Briggs, who have spent over 12 years leading painting workshops overseas, will bring their talents to Venice. “This is such a wonderful opportunity for us to help students of all levels discover their personal artistic vision in one of the most picturesque locations in the world. Inspired by the watercolors of renowned artist, John Singer Sargent, we’ll explore painting fragments of local city life, the play of light and shadows on the architecture, and the magical reflections in the canals,” said Briggs.
“Our trips are great because they are tailored to the needs and pace of artists. We understand what makes for an enriching painting retreat for artists; superior accommodations, planned lessons and meaningful excursions with time to paint and explore. Highlighting this Italian cultural vacation we’ll visit places like the Guggenheim (Peggy Guggenheim Collection), Saint Marco’s Square and the islands of Murano and Burano. The cooking class will also be a fun, enriching local cultural experience,” said Goesling.
