Warmup Exercises

Here is a video with two pre-trip exercises. Enjoy!

Note: This video was created for the Veneto Tour but is still relevant for Umbria. We will be doing some more watercolour exercises on location during the tour specifically related to the Umbrian stone colours, but this palette will give you a good start!

Exercise 1: Sketch your watercolor kit

Draw and paint the watercolour kit which you will be bringing to Italy.

Exercise 2: Create your own Palladian Odyssey Master Palette
