Isis is an amazing teacher! I have done very little drawing or painting in the last 50 years and my skills are rusty to say the least. She intuitively understood my skill level and the kind of exercise that would be most helpful to me. I learned so much in 3 hours -- and it was fun, too! Highly recommended-- the highlight of my trip to San Miguel!Isi

Instructor isis Rodrigues is a fantastic artist and a very knowledgeable instructor. She is from the US and speaks English. I highly recommend her if you would like to learn to paint or already know how and want to learn additional techniques.

Isis has a gift to teach art. My son had never painted before so he was a bit apprehensive at first, but Isis made clear up front that everyone is an artist. By setting the table with this approach, my son and I dove into picking our projects and learning to lightly sketch out our images. Isis proceeded to teach us about color and how to begin to approach the painting. She did it with such grace and kindness. My son and I simply had a blast. Highly recommend this class for anyone from the beginner to the expert. Isis speaks to the artist in all of us. We are very grateful to her.

Great class with Isis Rodriguez, a very talented SMA artist and enthusiastic teacher. Highly recommend for solo travelers or small groups. The more time/ sessions the better , but my single 3 hour class was lovely.

What a great experience! I arrived to find that I was the only student signed up so ended up having a private conversation and tutorial. I have no formal art training so after a brief discussion about the history of Mexican art, Isis helped me choose charcoal portraiture for my single day 3 hour class. It was such an enjoyable time and I left inspired to get started creating at home. If you have more time in SMA I can imagine that the month long offerings would be amazing. Thank you!

I showed up at the Gallery and waited for 30 minutes. I pounded on the door and called the tour operator several times with no answer. Why schedule a tour when it is not going to happen??????? Viator, you are off my list!!!!

Isis Rodriguez was an amazing teacher. Having no experience in drawing, she guided me with basic steps to draw a portrait. I actually was able to draw a portrait! And like it! I have acquired skills I can use if I choose to draw. Thank you Isis!
