Peter Kitchell, Photograph Expect an incredible learning vacation, with lots of activies and comraderie among new friends, yet enough "down time" to relax and rejuvenate. The only qualifications to participate in the Casa experience is the desire to have fun. Whether you decide to participate in one of the classes designed to help you access your creativity, or prefer at that time to relax on a lounge chair on the beach, that's fine -there is no pressure here - it's your workshop/vacation. We only ask that you bring with you a sense of adventure and willingness to explore the unknown. We believe creativity is a natural part of each person, and the Casa is the perfect environment to nurture your creativity. Each participant only need bring some kind of digital camera. This can be a simple point and shoot - to a professional high end camera -and any level of experience is welcome! There will be photo instruction from the most basic to advanced, with plenty of time for one on one instruction.  Peter Kitchell, Sweeping Emotions, Watercolor, Digital Collage  Robert Masla- "Portrait of the Artist Peter Kitchell", Mixed Media Digital Collage Painting, acrylics, watercolor, alkyd, acrylic gels, pigmented ink, on canvas mounted on board. Some of the locals for shooting and collecting images: • The Village of Boca, the town, it's streets, the boats and fisherman/nets, etc. as well as the people and animals. • Wildlife, Flora and Fauna - the Boca is a birders paradise, and filled with wonderful tropical flowers and plants. • The Botanical Gardens • Night - City Life and Architecture • The Colorful Mercado and Shops • The Spectacular Rocky Coast • Surf • Aquatic Life • Jungle Trails • Waterfalls • Rustic Mountain Town, architecture, landscape and it's people  Peter Kitchell, Photograph Your art workshop vacation at Casa de los Artistas is different from anything you have experienced, (read the statements of past Casa participants online). Aside from the wonderful instruction in art and photogrphy there will be numerous cultural excursions as well: • We will visit the exotic botanical gardens for photography and sketching • Visit the Mt. town of El Tuito, tour the small but beautiful plaza and local bakery, having lunch and tequila tasting at a wonderful hacienda restaurant overlooking the mountains and the Aguave plantation, (perhaps tour the distillary). • We will also be taking a trip into Puerto Vallarta for shopping at the Mercado and wonderful crafts shops, walking on the malecon (boardwalk), at night (filled with artists, street performers and revelers) and tour some of the galleries to experience the city’s lively arts scene. • There will be a boat trip to explore the gorgeous coastline and spectacular rock formations, as well as to swim or snorkel at Los Arcos National Coral Reef Park, with opportunities for seeing sea turtles, whales, dolphins and abundant fish. Other wild life is right at hand, from the balcony of your room you can view tropical birds and observe the local unspoiled Boca. Watch (and participate) as the simple authentic Mexican village life unfolds around you. This quaint fishing village unspoiled by tourists, is a rare treat off the beaten path. Words don’t actually do justice to the wonderful adventure in store for each participant. Your all inclusive week long Art Workshop/Vacation is just that - a workshop that is structured so you don't have to worry about details, but not too rigid - loose enough to enjoy yourself, relax and experience a vacation from the typical.
