Wow, I just heard about Elaine’s
Watercolor Class. Great opportunity to learn from one of the best around Ajijic.
Muchas Gracias mi amigo Peter!!! Appreciate your kind compliments and support along this lovely path in Mexico!!
Hello just would like to know if there is any classes schedule for the begining of2023
I am very excited to be able to join Elaines’s watercolor class. She is an excellent artist, and a very supportive, patient and giving teacher. I was fortunate enough to take a workshop/retreat with her in California, and am eagerly awaiting the February retreat in Mexico.
Dear, Dear Bobbie-
What an asset you are to every workshop and retreat I’ve been blessed to have you along on!! The NEW Mexico Women’s Retreat will be different and even more expanding. Can’t wait to see you in February and we can throw ideas around for the October Women’s Retreat here in Mexico, hopefully 🙂
As a fellow watercolorist who has painted alongside Elaine and known her for many years, I can attest to her expertise, enthusiasm, passion and kind heart. She always becomes engrossed in her work which contributes to her close attention to detail. Taking a workshop or attending a retreat with someone as special as Elaine is bound to be an inspiring and joy-filled adventure.
