Travelers with an artistic bent can put their brush strokes through the paces during special workshop getaways featuring renowned artist Michelle Torrez at Caneel Bay on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. A talented painter whose works have been featured in numerous publications, Torrez will work closely with serious artists and earnest aspirants in the intimate setting of the Turtle Bay Estate House. The four-night, three-day getaways are available at Caneel Bay Oct. 15-19 or Oct. 20-24.
At Caneel Bay, Torrez will focus on the human form, making extensive use of a female model over three days of instruction while inspiring students to take a fresh approach to expressing themselves. Caneel Bay is a superb destination for Torrez's workshops, as the beauty of St. John has been drawing artists for decades.
Participants can look forward to:
- Four nights accommodation in an Ocean View Room at Caneel Bay.
- A welcome reception.
- Working breakfast, lunch and breaks daily.
- All the art materials for the workshop, as well as three full days of personal instruction from Torrez.
