Southern plants, colorful sprouting flowers, palm trees, cypresses, fig trees and vast lakeside landscapes invite you to paint watercolors in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. On excursions we find picturesque alleys and corners in typical Ticino villages, beautiful church architecture and water reflections on the shores of Lake Lugano. Instructions on the techniques and practical tips, some theory on color theory and composition, references to art history and a daily picture discussion encourage the creation of atmospheric and expressive pictures.
