Ranchito San Pedro

    

As a teacher, it is my desire to share whatever I know about watercolor with my students - not to have them paint like me, but to enable them to express in their own magnificent ways. I love watercolor. I'll never completely master it - and that's the way I like it. For me, it is the joy of the process."

Join Jan & Carol in this very popular week long workshop at Ghost Ranch, beloved first home of Georgia O'Keeffe in New Mexico.

Prepare to immerse yourself into watercolor and the magic that is Ghost Ranch. Minimum number of participants 6; Maximum 15. Your space is reserved with a deposit of $200. 2003 Fall session sold out by April - so register early to reserve your spot
