Botanical Arts/ Nature Sketching the Tropical Flora and Fauna of Guatemala with Cynthia Padilla – October 27 – November 5, 2011. Central America, Guatamala – Antiqua. Join popular instructor Cynthia Padilla for a week submerged in the beauty of the tropical flora and fauna of Guatemala. Spend unhurried time, working en plein air, lulled by the gentle breezes of “the land of eternal spring.” Days begin with an introduction to materials and demonstration of technique. Participants are welcome to document whatever catches their eye and imagination — ancient structures, tropical landscapes, colorful markets.
Class will be based in lovely Antigua, a delightful bougainvillea-draped town with an international ambiance of internet cafes, art galleries, artisan crafts and warmhearted, welcoming people.
Participants will also head into the highlands where volcanoes rise out of early morning mist and spend 3 days on Lake Atitlan.
Begin a lifelong habit of journaling in nature and return home with a collection of sketches, tiny vignettes, notes & notations, measurements and musings, and works of art ready to frame. All media and all levels welcome.
