Jan Ledbetter, renowned watermedia artist, invites you to Explore Guatemala! Acknowledged for her exceptional teaching approach emboldening you to develop your own style and reinforcing basic principles of composition and design, Jan will escort you beyond your current level of expertise into a higher level of artistry, content and technique. Pack your bags and bring an open mind to this creative, interactive experience.

Classes on location begin with a demonstration of the day’s lesson teaching drawing and painting in easy steps. Delight in your creative process and learn in a setting without pressure, rich in subject matter: Mayan models in colorful clothing, charming courtyards and gardens and scenic landscapes. One-on-one sessions and helpful critiques are offered with specific suggestions for your improvement.

This Art Workshop/Tour provides a unique travel experience which will take you to scenic and colorful venues throughout Guatemala. The hotels, excursions, special events, and cuisine will be luxury and five star all the way. Watercolor, gouache and acrylic painters, as well as non-painting companions are invited to join Jan on this “experience of a lifetime”.

You will step back in time over 300 years as you enter Antigua with its Spanish Colonial appeal and charm. From colonial architecture, Monasteries, courtyards with fountains, Cathedrals, and bougainvillea draped ruins, to its romantic surroundings, this town is considered one of the most beautiful in Central America. You will travel through the highland mountains to the famed Lake Atitlán (Aldous Huxley called it the “most beautiful lake in the world”), surrounded by majestic volcanoes and twelve Maya villages. Prepare yourself for the multitude of colors and shopping, the likes of which you have never seen, in Chichicastenango, the world renowned Maya market. You will be enthralled by many other beautiful venues that await you on this magical journey.
Explore Guatemala! Expect to be welcomed without judgment. Expect to grow as an artist. Expect to find beauty in Guatemala and within yourself. Empower your visions, observations and ideas by manifesting them through your art…and have a memorable experience!
