Vico Fabbris was born in Northern Italy. From an early age he copied works by Leonardo, Raphael, and Caravaggio.

In Florence, he became a Maestro d’Arte completing a MFA painting curriculum at the Accademia di Belle Arti.

Vico’s accomplishments include: a major one-person show at Forum Gallery in Los Angeles; a two-time recipient of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Grant in painting; twice finalist of the Blanche Coleman Award; selected by Beth Venn of the Whitney Museum for the Northeast catalogue of New American Painting and commissioned to do a lithograph for Muka Print Project in Auckland, New Zealand. His work has been exhibited at the Provincetown Art Association & Museum, the Cape Museum of Fine Arts, Giardino Botanico, Florence, Italy, and many galleries in Florida, New York and Los Angeles.

The course ‘Watercolor and Inventive Thinking’ will allow you to experiment, invent and create new combinations of figurative or abstract images with watercolor or acrylic wash. Using visualization, imagination and your own intuition this course will assist you to unlock your “inventive thinking”.

You will be able to develop an image that does not exist in the real world. Also, you will experiment with combinations of techniques that can be used to create works of art that appear complex, yet easy to produce. All the elements of painting are introduced in guided exercises that will be held inside the studio and taken outdoors.

Works can be done in any scale with watercolor or Acrylic wash on Aquabord or preferred watercolor paper.

Flexibility and open-mindedness are essential to reach your full potential ability to paint without restriction. This course is appropriate for beginners as well as more advanced students.
