Painting trip: La Capuccina
What you can expect
Up close and personal with goats and cows
A venerable monastery, rooted in a farm of the highest quality of agritourism. A winery, an oasis of pleasure, nestled in the sleepy village of Curregio, dreamily situated on the edge of the forest.
A stone's throw away between Lake Maggiore and Lake Orta in Upper Piedmont.
The Mediterranean breeze of lightness caresses your soul.
Letting go, in the shade of the beguilingly fragrant blue vine between gnarled vines.
Discover. Traditional cuisine inspired by the chef's travels, refined and innovatively refined.
With a menu prepared with fresh ingredients straight from the garden and accompanied by wines from the small winery, each dish is a tribute to the culinary heritage of the region.
Marvel. Painting. Technique. Art. Reflecting the mirror image of yourself in the sunlight.
Acrylic paint leaves traces / structures on your hands.
Lose yourself in the self-awareness of your brushstrokes.
In the painting course, participants paint exclusively with acrylic paints on canvas. There is no set theme; each participant is free to paint whatever their heart desires. I will introduce you to a variety of techniques, including my own pour art technique, a further development of the pour technique, which produces fascinating effects. Whether you are interested in realistic representations or abstract art, I will help you to realize your ideas. The course is aimed at beginners and advanced students alike; I meet each participant where they are at and encourage individual growth.

We spent a wonderfully inspiring time in a picturesque location. Maria responded with great empathy to the individual needs of each participant. With a lot of patience, she helped me to immortalize my personal works of art on the canvas. I really enjoyed the time and returned home with many wonderful impressions and new experiences from this unique vacation. My two pictures remind me of this wonderful time. Thank you very much Maria. Best regards from Vienna, Gabriela
They were great painting days in the Kaunertal. The feeling of happiness stayed with me for a long time in my everyday working life. Everything was just right: a great and very competent course instructor, a small painting group, enough space to paint, beautiful autumn weather, unique accommodation with a warm and open host and authentic cuisine of a high standard. I have already booked my next painting trip with Maria Gabriel.
The painting courses in Maria's studio in Nenzing or on painting days, e.g. near Venice, are characterized by Maria's high level of pedagogical competence and her importance as an artist. Her support and guidance lead to respectable success for all participants. The ambience of the locations, which is characterized by Maria's careful selection, makes even the painting-free hours an experience. The group spirit is incredibly collaborative as a result.
In October 2023, I was able to experience an extraordinary painting trip with and thanks to Maria Gabriel at an extraordinary location, Villa Rosa Rose/Treviso. Maria knows how to pick up the most diverse "creative" people where they are, to bring them forward in an unagitated way, and to combine enjoyment and culture in the beautiful surroundings of the location. Many thanks for a wonderful, hugely inspiring week 💗
This year was the first time I, a beginner painter, went on a painting trip to Italy with Maria and it was simply wonderful! She chooses very special places for her courses, takes a lot of time for the participants and is an inspiring and talented teacher. The atmosphere in our course was just great and everyone, from beginners to professionals, was able to develop and take home some great pictures. I will definitely be back again.
Maria can awaken great joy in painting with her ❤️-lichen way. Even less experienced "artists" learn to realize their own works and ideas with more self-confidence and courage. I have already attended several courses with her and have really learned a lot. She approaches everyone personally with a lot of patience and humor! It is always an experience to visit her beautiful studio. Her painting trips are also worth trying out.
This year I went on my first painting trip to Lake Achensee with Maria. An incredibly likeable and inspiring woman. Maria picks up everyone where they are, whether someone like me as a complete beginner or others who simply want to learn something new. It was fun. Thank you dear Maria Gabriel!
