Landscape Painting Seminar with Michael Workman

This publication is for the use of the students, faculty and friends of The International School of Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture, in Umbria, Italy. We have tried to provide the most accurate information possible. In Italy, however, schedules change, museums close, strikes and religious holidays happen. In the land of la dolce vita, it's best to be flexible.
