A seven day art retreat with landscape painter Nina Weiss
in stunning San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Join us this fall for Day of the Dead, one of the most important and visually stunning holidays in Mexico. The town of San Miguel is full of spectacle and activity with elaborate altars, "catrina" parade, Day of the Dead markets and marigolds everywhere!
Let the holdiay and sun- drenched town of San Miguel Allende serve as your muse and inspiration.
A review of color and light will help students understand how color under natural light works on our environment.
Students will learn to utilize techniques such as layering, optical mixture, broken brushstroke, and glazing as a new and exciting way to represent color.
Students will build strong, effective paintings by studying ideas about composition, gesture, and thumbnail sketches.
Technical guidance in all color mediums is provided including gouache, acrylic, oils, pastels, and colored pencils.
