Subject: Information about painting courses

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to ask for information about your Painting courses in Tuscany. I will be visiting a relative in your
country for a few months and I am especially interested in a one week beginner's course. I took some painting
classes when I was a child, that was over 40 years ago. I am now a retired person and when I saw your post I
wondered why not start over. I really want to go back to enjoying the process of creating, mixing colors, learning
to draw shapes, experimenting with painting as I did as a child and doing it in the wonderful landscape that
Tuscany offers would be great.

I have consulted the different options offered on your website. As a beginner, I'm not sure which course would
be more suitable for me, acrylic, watercolors, or oil for example. Maybe you can advise me on that. I also would
like to receive information about dates, prices, number of students per class, if it includes materials and if not,
what would be the basic paint set that I would need to take the course. About accommodation, I saw that it is
included but I would like to know if the rooms are shared and for how many people.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Sandra Felicelli

Excellent Sandra, I loved your writing! Keep it up!
