Mexico
   Playa del Carmen January 9-16, 2005
With Ellie Weakley, Cathy Goodale, Jim Biggers
and Doug Erion

This small town, that can be traversed on foot, is casual and comfortable. Architectural elements featuring clapboard walls, thached roofs, lush foliage and gardens, are an expression of the tropical native culture. And of course, there are the white sand beachs with beautiful Caribbean waters. Located 42 miles south of Cancun, the area offers an ideal setting and opportunity for painting a variety of subject matter.

Painting classes start at 10:00 AM with a new painting being started each day. The day begins with a demonstration and ends with a critique. There will always be 2 instructors available to help you develop your technique and answer questions.
