We had a lot of interest in this year's winter escape to Cuba, but unfortunately we did not meet our minimum committed artists to make it happen. We will try again next year.

CUBA! - Winter Escape Watercolor Workshop

Our second annual winter escape will be to Cuba this coming January 19 to 26, 2019. 7 days of sun, fun, painting and absorbing the culture and beauty of Cuba. This year we are also welcoming Oil and Acrylics painters along.

Last year we left a lot of friends behind to suffer through a winter snow storm while we painted and enjoyed warm sand beneath our feet. Don't be left behind this winter. Join us on the #WinterEscape to Cuba for an unforgettable workshop and vacation in the sun.

 

Every day will include 5 hours of painting. Enough time for us to build a portfolio of memories from our trip:

  • We will start with choosing our spot and learning how and why some spots work for painting while others are better for photography.
  • Designing, composing and sketching are all skills that we need to master especially when we are painting from life. We will spend time on that and work through individual compositions and designs.
  • Zan will then do a full demo, explaining techniques and working step by step through the whole painting process
  • Then it is your turn to paint. Choose your spot and express yourself in your own individual style.
  • Zan will give individual attention to everyone, teaching and working with you to achieve the results you want in your painting. Most days we will run far past the 5 hours if everyone is engaged, but beyond the teaching portion and the one on one sessions, everyone is free to take breaks and enjoy the sun.
  • We end the painting day with a positive constructive critique session to help us all learn from each other.
  • Watercolor is the medium we will focus on, but if you prefer oils or acrylics, You are welcome as well. Zan is classically trained and able to guide you in your medium of choice.
  • Non-participating guests are also welcome and get a reduced rate
