You're invited to the turquoise-blue Caribbean and the green, Yucatan Peninsula. Enter the multi-million acre bio-reserve of S'aan K'aan and stay at the fabulous Cuzan Guest Houses right on the Caribbean Sea. Join our professional artist and instructor, Pamela Rhodes, director of ARTroads, and our Mayan chefs for seven days and nights in the remote and tranquil Mayan fishing village of Punta Allen. You'll stay just 150 miles south of Cancun (and far from the crowds), in natural beach cabanas - "palapas", built on the sand right on the beautiful azul bay. Learn the fundamentals of drawing and composition and then the basic techniques of watercolor and watercolor pencil. Pamela is a patient, professional and experienced instructor comfortable with all student skill levels. She has just returned from a month in Italy and is doubly inspired to share techniques and insight. Classes are filled with lectures on technique, demonstrations, exercises and offer lots of personal attention.
