CLASS #1 - Sketching/Drawing with Perspective  - Monday, November 30th from 11am to 4pm (1 hour break)- Classes will take place at LCS Gazebo.

Let’s draw 3D scenes in 2D by free hand. We study the point, line and space as instruments for creation. Learn to sketch as a starting point to a drawing, painting or idea, with an emphasis on adding 3D perspective.

As a trained architect, Ricardo Sanchéz teaches how sketching with pencil as a starting point for artistic expression will allow you to polish your idea or concept before committing.  To learn perspective drawing, we will start with understanding the basic concepts like vanishing points and horizon lines, which help create the illusion of depth on a flat surface. Practicing with simple shapes, such as boxes, and gradually moving to more complex scenes will enhance your skills.  Learn to draw your lines to one or many vanishing points to stretch the perspective of your drawing. Sketching and drawing are critical skills for representing your ideas before painting watercolors.

This is class #1 in a series of 6 with each building on the previous class. Experienced watercolor artists are welcomed in all classes. All students who attend BOTH drawing & watercolor classes can attend a free bonus 3 hour “plein air” painting session with Ricardo on Friday December 4^th from 11 – 2pm.

Class #2 – Introduction to Watercolor

Thursday December 3^rd from 11am to 4pm (1 hour break)

PRICE: 1,500 Pesos (non LCS) – ALL PROFESSIONAL MATERIALS INCLUDED.

Discover watercolor as a painting technique by learning about color theory, the object and the abstraction, the brushstroke and the watersplash. We will paint flowers so we can allow a more spontaneous use of the pigments as a non-threatening approach to learning watercolor.

Watercolor painting is a method where pigments are suspended in a water-based solution, creating translucent and vibrant artwork.  It is a technique feared by many and it is called the “chess” of painting since the artist must think in advance. But Ricardo Sanchéz makes this challenge approachable. He will guide you through the entire process of creating watercolors.  Ricardo will walk through creating your own color wheel to understand color mixing. He will cover types of paper and basic mounting techniques like wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry, controlling the water, and he will help students overcome common fears while embracing mistakes.

This is class #2 in a series of 6 with each building on the previous class. Experienced watercolor artists are welcomed in all classes. All students who attend BOTH drawing & watercolor classes can attend a free bonus 3 hour “plein air” painting session with Ricardo on Friday December 4^th from 11 – 2pm.

This class will take place at the Gazebo on Saturday, Nov. 21, 10am to 12pm

Tibetan Singing Bowls is an experiential wellness and meditation class centered on the sustained sounds and vibrations produced by metal & quartz singing bowls. This guided class uses rich, resonant tones and natural vibrations to create an environment that encourages deep relaxation, mindful awareness, and physical and emotional well-being.
Scientific studies suggest that singing-bowl meditation helps reduce perceived stress, anxiety, muscular tension, fatigue, and negative mood. Emerging research also points to potential benefits for sleep quality, emotional balance, and pain perception.

Participants will experience mindful breathing, attentive listening, and extended sound-meditation sessions designed to encourage mental calm, bodily relaxation, and present-moment awareness.
This accessible and restorative experience welcomes beginners and experienced meditators alike. It offers an opportunity to disconnect from daily distractions, reconnect with oneself, and explore sound meditation as a complementary approach to personal wellness.
