I would like to reach out to you, my dedicated students, art lovers and art colleagues, about the possibility of a workshop I am considering offering in spring of 2017. It would be one week in length, with 5 days of instruction and/or "field trip" work, at the beautiful Hacienda Mosaico in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
You probably know by now about my passion for Mexico and its people, culture, color, textures and "soul". This would be your chance to see Mexico from a different point of view, involving all of the senses. We would be working, mostly, with the gorgeous textures and colors that Mexico has to offer, and interpret these through encaustic wax and mixed media. We will also work with photographs and wax (optional), encaustic monoprinting techniques and MANY painting & texture techniques. We would be using our eyes and hands to record the beauty of Mexico, through photo "strolls", sketching, writing and studio time. You would also learn about the basics of working with encaustic wax and mixed media. If you have experience with encaustic, then you can get to work right away!
The price would most likely range in about the $1800-$2000 (pp/double occupancy) range for one week at Hacienda Mosaico (includes "welcome" reception & freshly-cooked breakfasts and lunches on the pool patio), 6 nights accommodation and 5 days of art instruction/studio time. Please let me know your thoughts, and I appreciate your input! Hacienda Mosaico's website is here (take a look-it is GORGEOUS)! Sam Leonard is a gracious host who is also an artist herself, and has been hosting successful art retreats for 12 years:
