Michelangelo for a day

TRAVEL & WATERCOLORS

A little box of watercolors and a sketchbook — that’s all you need to enjoy the most beautiful moments together.

Spending quality time with the whole family and creating your own memories of the journey.

Whenever I travel with my children, we always make time to stop at a park, by the sea, or by a lake, and paint the beauty in front of us. It’s our way of slowing down, being present, and turning a moment into a memory we can keep forever.

And Rome? It’s simply perfect to capture in your own watercolor.

We were absolutely delighted to host the French agency Family Twist in our studio for an aperitivo to celebrate the achievements of this season!As the guides and the entire team behind this success shared stories over a glass of w**e, we also shared a creative moment: piece by piece, we crafted a beautiful small mosaic together as a memory of this evening.An evening filled with fun, connection, and emotion!

Three young Michelangelos!

One of our favorite combinations of a tour and an art class is our Fresco Workshop paired with a visit to the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums — a perfect journey into the world of fresco painting in Rome.

After admiring the masterpieces of Michelangelo, the three little artists had the chance to create their very own fresco, getting their hands into the ancient technique and experiencing the magic of painting on fresh plaster.

A truly special experience — and a wonderful memory for three beautiful young artists!

One of my favorite way to spend Saturday morning is
Our Caravaggio Painting Class!
A few hours of quiet, energy, colors, chatting about art and history!

Autumn will come soon to Rome 🍂
The perfect season to slow down, enjoy the fresh air, and paint outdoors in the beautiful parks of Rome.

We’re looking for new, inspiring spots to bring our watercolor workshops to you — surrounded by nature, colors, and the magic of autumn.

✨ New places, new colors, new inspiration.

Would you join us for a watercolor painting session in the park?

We had an amazing time with Jeff, Robin, and their fantastic kids. To stay one step ahead of the Roman summer heat, we started bright and early, exploring the Colosseum, the Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum while the city was still waking up.

After a light lunch break, it was time to cool off in our cozy art studio, where the real creative adventure began! With clay in our hands and Ancient Rome as our inspiration, everyone sculpted and decorated their own unique masterpiece.

History, creativity, laughter, and unforgettable family memories—all in one perfect Roman day!

So many paintings, so many Roman helmets, endless inspiration from the ancient world... and even more laughter
A huge thank you to Dragon Fly Tours for making this wonderful day possible

Is there a sweeter way to discover the artistic wonders of Rome than by creating a piece of art of your own to treasure forever?

With Lisa and her wonderful family, we spent the morning exploring the breathtaking beauty of St. Peter’s Basilica, standing in awe before its extraordinary mosaics, masterpieces that have inspired visitors for centuries.

After a refreshing break, we slowed down and embraced the joy of creating our own little mosaic. Using the very same ancient techniques—and even mosaic tesserae handcrafted by the same Venetian artisans who continue this centuries-old tradition—we experienced the timeless magic of this art.

More than just a workshop, it was a journey through history, creativity, and shared moments. A truly unforgettable day, filled with beauty, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Thanks to my friend Susanna!!
