Almost unbelievable! - I sketched! I painted! I made a beautiful work of art, that I'll frame and put on wall, because I'm so proud of it. I'm not sure how Leon taught me during the first half, then we spent the last half using what we learned, as Leon gently coached us one in a while I will use the lessons he taught, and materials he gifted, to keep sketching!

A peaceful creative fun activity! - A wonderful way of relaxing and having fun. Guido was such a lovely gentleman too. Very enjoyable. No Picassos, as we were novices, but great fun having a go!

Fantastic experience!! - I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about my experience with Guido, who is a wonderful teacher. This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Rome! I also felt completely comfortable attending as a solo female traveler. I rarely leave a review but this was just wonderful. Thank you, Guido!

A unique and uplifting family experience! - We absolutely loved our private sketching lesson with Guido in the Villa Borghese gardens. Guido was fun, engaging, and genuinely enthusiastic about art. He made everyone in our family—especially our kids—feel encouraged and proud of their work. The tour through the gardens was beautiful, and Guido shared personal stories that added a special charm. It was a perfect break from the usual tourist spots and a great way to experience Rome creatively. Highly recommend!
