An Amazing Way to Spend an Afternoon!

Dave_G, Nov 2025
My daughter took an art class with Isis in November, 2025. She had a marvelous time, and rated it as her favorite experience after a busy week in San Miguel (which included visiting the Tianguis, the Centro Historico, La Fabrica Auroria, touring Queretaro, visiting the Art Institute, etc.). Isis focuses her attention on the student, and caters to their needs. My daughter will be incorporating Isis' help tips on how to improve her artwork, which has been a goal of hers for the past few years.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

It was a pleasure to work with your teen daughter. She was eager to learn and my goal is always to work with each other students nature no matter their age.

Professional assessment given in an engaging atmosphere

William_D, Nov 2025
Ms. Rodriguez is an exceptional instructor who listened to what I wanted from the class, interpreted what I needed based on her observations of my skill set level, and provided demos to clarify on what she advised. As a painter who had put this pursuit on hold for many years, I was particularly attracted to how the workshop was advertised. I received next steps and look forward to applying what I gained upon my return from vacation. Great class, Thanks so much!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

You are welcomed back anytime Bill! I enjoyed having you in my class working in watercolors and we freed up some blocks that produced an amazing portrait. Remember, every hit with that brush means something!

An amazing experience!

Nicole_B, Mar 2025
Isis offers an amazing artistic experience. As a novice painter, I appreciated her helpful approach to explaining the watercolor painting process - and how to blend colors and create a baseline template to achieve the desired outcome. Isis' studio is welcoming and her work is incredibly impressive. I highly recommend this class to artists of all levels!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

It was a pleasure teaching you and your friend Nicole. You are welcomed back anytime!

Isis is a great teacher!

Colleen_C, Mar 2024
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

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Colleen, I was impressed with your 1st day! Can't wait what you will do in the future. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Art studio instruction

sheldon_c, Mar 2024
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.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Glad to have had you as a student. You progressed so much in less than a month! Let me know if you need any more help.

Wonderful

David_C, Oct 2023
Isis is awesome! Very good class, I will definitely take another class with her next trip to San Miguel.

David, It was a pleasure to have you! Isis R

Great artist

Jan_J, Mar 2023
I was so excited to find this art experience. Isis is a real professional and I learned so much and had a lot of fun.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Jan, It was a pleasure to have you in my class. You have a lot of potential that we tapped into. You are welcomed to take a class anytime!

Wonderful intro to charcoal portraiture.

Suzanne_D, Feb 2023
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.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Suzanne, I really enjoyed having you. I loved how your art piece came out. Don't forget to frame it!

Terrible Tour That Did Not Happen

Joanna_C, Sep 2021
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!!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Viator/TripAdvisor have not been sending me confirmations nor updates on bookings as they have in the past. From my past reviews, my guests have had no problem with taking a class with me. Viator/TripAdvisor has been undergoing major platform changes and they are not as proficient. As a result, I was under the impression that I had no class. I have none of these problems when guests book my art classes on Airbnb, which is the exact same art class nor when they book directly thru me on my website at isisrodriguez dot com. Your money has been refunded. And I am sorry we could not enjoy the class together.

Amazing teacher

Paula_S, Jul 2021
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!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Hi Paula! So glad to have had you as a beginner. You did an amazing job on your portrait.
