Greece 2016 continued ~ teaching and yoga

teaching on location in Mykonos

During our 14 days in Greece, I gave a sketching and watercolor lesson, on location, nearly every day. My students were all levels, from true beginners, to the more experience artist.

Greece 2016

Our group!

I've just returned from 14 days in Greece. I had 16 extraordinary women as my students. We traveled from Athens to Amorgos to Naxos to Mykonos together, painting, eating, talking, and laughing.
