Paint Yourself Vibrant
with Joan Fullerton
January 24-31, 2027 in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Starting from $3,800
Whether you want to reinvigorate your creative practice, explore new directions in your work, or simply spend a week painting in one of the world’s most inspiring locations, Paint Yourself Vibrant in San Miguel de Allende offers the perfect opportunity to reconnect with your creativity—and yourself.
Joan will encourage you to move beyond predictable painting methods and approach your work with a mindset of curiosity, experimentation and play. Through expressive abstract painting and collage, you’ll explore innovative techniques and discover new ways of working with color, texture, movement and composition. You’ll draw, scrape, roll, drag, spray, stamp, lift, write and drip your way toward paintings that are uniquely your own.
And there’s no better place to step outside your usual creative routine than San Miguel de Allende. Throughout the week, you’ll have time to immerse yourself in your work, find inspiration in the city’s historic architecture and vibrant colors, and experience the energy of one of Mexico’s most celebrated art communities.
The Muse That Is San Miguel de Allende
In San Miguel, color and texture are everywhere—sunlight on terra-cotta walls, bursts of bougainvillea, markets alive with sound and motion. This town doesn’t just inspire art—it is art.
In San Miguel, art isn’t confined to studios or canvases—it’s in the air, the light, the rhythm of daily life.
Leave with new techniques, yes—but more importantly, leave seeing the world the way an artist does.
