Painting trip: Locanda Rosa Rosae
What you can expect
A teacher, an architect and the love and dedication to an old mill. The former mill wheel beats now slow down your time-out from everyday life. Enchanted, romantic, breathtaking and in love with detail. Whispering stone walls paint a story in your mind. A seductive Mediterranean variety of delights on your porcelain plate. Dripping wax in the shadow play of twilight candlelight. Creaking chair legs rub against historic wooden floorboards. The soul of the old mill sparks your creativity. Nature's diverse play of colors of the seasons. Picturesque, enchanting, breathtakingly magical, your creative time-out in Veneto / Lombardy ....
The painting course in our magical mill offers you a unique opportunity to develop your artistic skills. The painting course involves painting 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 pouring technique, which produces fascinating effects. Whether you are interested in realistic representations or abstract art, I will help you 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!
