Art Instruction Workshops

Poreto Morelos Mexico
For the past twenty years, Wendy has instructed watercolour and oil painting workshops.
When Wendy teaches she wants her students to feel a contagious enthusiasm toward the work they will be creating. Wendy believes in creating an atmosphere of social fun and laughter among the group in her workshops. She incourages the freedom to share ideas and experiences, while at the same time paying strict attention to hard work and dedication to the learning process.

Wendy specializes in teaching the basic elements and principles of design and composition.
She includes art theory, incourages creativity and individualism, and demonstrates application and technique. Wendy strives to keep up with the changes in art technology, materials and tools so that she can pass on to her students the most up-to-date information available.
Her short demonstrations bring to light the glory of colour, luminosity, light energy and shadow. Also, how to establish a strong and interesting compostition.
