Day 5, Cinque Terre Art Trek with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

On our fifth day in Cinque Terre, we visited the final town of Manarola. Opting to leave our paint gear and just be tourists for the morning, we joined the photographers in exploring the town and grabbing a light lunch.

That afternoon we opted to paint this picturesque Italian courtyard, keeping our composition simple for a quick, fun and colorful study. That evening we gathered for another delicious dinner!
