The class was very fun, I am an experienced painter and I learned a lot, and Fernando was kind and patient. I would do again

I was very happy with my Doors of San Miguel painting experience. It's at least 30 years since I painted, and that was with water colour so I was keen to learn about acrylics. I was not disappointed. I learned what supplies I would need to acquire, how to plan and lay out a painting, how to apply layers, how to mix colours - in. short everything a beginner needs to know. And I have a not-too-bad first painting. One of my classmates posted our class photo. That's me in the pink hat.

I learned such a lot from our very helpful maestro. From knowing nothing I now know what supplies to purchase and how to go about producing a painting. Also I enjoyed the day very much.

What a great way to spend the day! We were both beginners and learned some basic painting and composition techniques from our instructor- an experienced artist. Bonus was seeing a different side of San Miguel and having a fun souvenir to take home! Highly recommend!

A wonderful experience for all levels. I learned so much! I am a novice at painting, and I’m so happy to learn so much! Another great thing is coming away with a nice painting that I can hang!
