    About this experience

    The art class is an amazing opportunity to experience Florence through the eyes of a painter and to immerse yourself in the colours and lights of the Renaissance. The class is a Plein Air in a piazza next to the hotel, or on the river side. I'm a painter and art teacher and also a tourist guide. We will use acrylic or watercolor technique, because we can paint with acrylic as oil, or water color because it gives us enormous possibilities to spread our fantasy. We will use examples from art history to choose everybody's personal style. You will have the best souvenir from Florence, a small masterpiece painted by you. I'll teach you how to lay a colour base and how to shape the painting. Our aim is to understand how a painting was created in history and to try to quickly complete an art work. The painting experience will take place on Piazza di Santo Spirito , or another location depending on weather conditions.

    Well worth it!!

    Ulisse was a wonderful instructor. She was fun to talk to and very knowledgeable about the area. She offered help and taught us new painting skills. It was something I always wanted to do and very glad we did it.

    Ulisse's amazing art experience

    This was the most amazing art experience, a highlight of our time in Rome! Ulisse was the best, she made this an unforgettable memory in Florence. She guided, coached and encouraged us as we painted our scene. She was very accommodating and communicated throughout. She shared her own story with us and taught us about Florence and art. My wife and I would highly recommend this to anyone, regardless of skill level.

    Ulisse's amazing art experience

    This was one of the most memorable experiences from our time in Italy! Ulisse was amazing, a highlight from our trip. She picked us up and took us to a quiet little spot and proceeded to guide, help, and encourage us as we water painted a scene. She was a treasure, full of knowledge and life experience, we talked the entire time we painted and we felt like friends after our time together. Would highly recommend to any age or skill level.

    Holiday highlight!

    Our guide was not only a very talented artist but also explained a philosophical depth and understanding of the history of art of Florence. A highlight of our trip! Thank you!

    Just paint whatever

    Wonderful person just not very directive and there was no place to go really to paint. It was a lot of money for a three hour free for all.

    Painting Experience in the center of Florence: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Painting Experience in the center of Florence cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Painting Experience in the center of Florence take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Painting Experience in the center of Florence worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Painting Experience in the center of Florence?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Painting Experience in the center of Florence suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Painting Experience in the center of Florence?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Painting Experience in the center of Florence start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
