Efren Gonzalez to teach watercolor class

Efren Gonzalez will be in La Manzanilla Mexico January 18-24 hosting a watercolor class. Classes are from 10 am -3 pm cost is $2600 Mexican pesos.  Please contact the Galeria for more information - info@artinmexico.com

Efren’s painting style can best be described as impressionistic. He uses color and motion to capture the essence of his subject matter, which is distinctly Mexican in theme. Although he dabbles in realism from time to time, paints landscapes, portraits and still-life objects, the vast majority of his work is characterized by the flurry of his brush and the vibrancy of his palette. When asked about influences, he admits there are many, although the one painter who has most held his admiration is Angel Zarraga, a Mexican painter of the era of Diego Rivera who achieved renown in Europe, primarily in France, for his murals and large format paintings.

Just a couple of weeks from opening and we are very excited to see all our winter friends.

Galeria is closed for the 2011 Summer Season
