With Patti Mollica
Exact dates will be posted later in 2019
Workshop Description
San Miguel, Mexico will charm and delight the artist within. It is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico and in 2008 it was recognized, along with the Sanctuary of Jesus of Atotonilco, as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Its attractive and cosmopolitan appearance makes it one of the favorite destinations for art enthusiasts. There are plenty of sites to visit, and they all stand out the city’s historical and architectural heritage.. On this trip you will enjoy daily Plein Air workshops with professional artist and instructional author Patti Mollica honing your skills and learning new techniques throughout the city where so many artists have come before. We will also be visiting art museums, tasting local cuisine and wine, and enjoying the visual feast and magic of San Miguel. One of the sites that you must see is the San Miguel Arcangel Parish. It has become the hallmark of the city. It is a beautiful temple of the end of the century. Other must places in San Miguel de Allende are the handicraft market of the city or the archeological zone of Cañada la Virgen.
