Leonardo experimented and tried to know every aspect of reality by creating and researching. Starting from the drawing to experimentally design an artistic image will be our way of proceeding without forgetting the fun in doing so. Enjoy few hours as an artist designing your illustration and learn new techniques to express in art your Florentine travel experience. We will be inspired by the wonder of Florentine architecture and by the Renaissance but in a modern way. Is not difficult to just embrace creativity!
