JOIN ME IN MEXICO!  JANUARY, 2018

 ~Casa Buena Art Retreat~


From their website:
"Casa Buena Art Retreat between Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan, Mexico is a calm and beautiful place to relax, rejuvenate and explore your creative energy.

The colorful villages, pristine beaches, tropical jungles, and the sounds and smells of daily life take you right into the heart of authentic rural Mexico. Fishermen, tortilla makers, street sweepers, donkeys, and bicycles, all add to the colorful animated village life."


About My Workshop:

A painting magically reaches out and pulls you across the room for a closer look.

How or why does that happen?

It's often a simple subject, yet a painting can be so captivating, it just doesn't let go ... mysteriously drawing you to look closer.

This 4-Day workshop will touch on all the
"Simple Ideas" that Bobbi emphasizes throughout her teaching: " logical ideas " ... the nuts and bolts necessary to build a strong, beautiful painting. Ideas that help take the mystery out of painting and add the magic you are seeking.

Please contact me for further details.

 "Casa Buena", painting studies of some beautiful images for my upcoming workshop in Mexico. 
"Rome", pencil, watercolour, pen & ink
"Venice", pencil, watercolour, pen & ink

Recently I've renewed my love of watercolours and combined it with drawing with pencil and pen & ink.  Artists call these "Postcards" and it's a perfect way to go when you want to travel light.  These were painted for my watercolour and acrylic classes from photos from our trip.  We'll be exploring these little gems from life while relaxing in the beautiful Mexican sunshine!

Please contact me for information ... and visit Casa Buena's website for more.
