Impulses for drawing - It was very personal and benevolent. And we learned a lot. It was a beautiful day in the middle of Rome, an oasis of peace.

Witness Rome from an artistic lense! Am opportunity to slow down in the busy city. - what a lovely experience to slow down in the bustling city of Rome! so peaceful and relaxing. As novice sketchers Guido gave excellent guidance and techniques that showed results right away. He was a great teacher, opened our eyes to Rome in refreshing artistic lense and shared a deep appreciation for the city he grew up in.

Fun way to see Rome from the perspective of a proud Roman artist - Guido provided 3 different experiences. The first was to study a subject intently and sketch with a fountain pen, then add colored pencil. We continued our walk in the gardens to the second subject. The exercise was to draw a fountain without looking at the paper and then turn the paper over and draw the fountain by looking only at the paper (and not the fountain), using oil pastels and lastly we drew a villa very very fast with pen and then equally as quickly painted with watercolor. the 3 experinces built upon each other. So fun - the lesson was to study the world around us and be free to create. Guido was a delight. The experience exceeded my expectation.
