Several years ago I spent 2 days following Kelly while she painted in Rome. She was gracious to allow me to shadow her while she completed a project of painting a picture every day! see post at Rome Italy through the eyes of a talented American artist.
I had an opportunity to join one of Kelly's sketching tours, Sketching in Rome tours while in Rome
to do several travel reviews. Thinking this would be novel way to experience part of Rome I joined an enthusiastic group one very hot afternoon in the Villa Borghese gardens.
Kelly gathered the group and introduced herself and had each of us do the same. This particular group was all women, all ages and everyone very accomplished professionals!
As I found out later they were also surprising 'artists'.
Kelly has created a wonderful art package for each participant. This is a compact pouch that has everything you need to sketch and paint: paints, water brush, pencil, ink pen and book of paper.
The notebook has several types of paper suitable for sketching or water color paints.
One pad offers sketching paper, watercolor paper of different textures.
Our first mini lesson was how to close our eyes and draw
an item we had selected. This was harder than it sounded....

If you have visited Rome before or perhaps just need an alternative to all the wonderful monuments, museums, churches, Sketching Rome Tours is a great afternoon alternative.
As a solo traveler you will find a sketching Rome tours solo friendly and should find a friendly, social group.
Each year Kelly offers wonderful painting adventures in locations out of Rome. A perfect way to experience another city/country and expand your painting skills.
Include this in your next trip Home to Italy.
2018 schedule from Kelly's web page:
Rome will be offering urban sketching workshops throughout 2018 with loads of different topics and teachers. I will be teaching capturing the light of Rome through watercolor in September. This is a great opportunity to get out and sketch the streets of Rome!
