About the class
Jose Martinez will guide you step-by-step as you create your own Dia de Muertos themed painting depicting skeleton dogs and cats on a floral background. Taught in both Spanish and English, this workshop is great for friend groups or as a date night. Spend a few hours laughing and learning — you’ll be amazed at the end result: feeling uplifted and finishing a painting you’ll be proud to hang on your wall or give as a gift. Absolutely no drawing or painting experience is necessary. Beginners encouraged! All materials are included, along with light snacks and a glass of wine for participants age 21 and over.
Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.

About the instructor
Jose Martinez
Instructor / Artist
Jose Martinez uses oil on canvases and panels to portray average, everyday people—often those who in one way or another have had an impact on his life.
Jose’s desire is to capture the beauty and intricate nature of the human experience, be that through painting, drawing, or photography. Through his use of light, shadow, and hue, he reveals a story, highlights an emotion, or simply captures a moment suspended in time.
Jose is also dedicated to helping individuals express themselves by facilitating art classes. He believes that art is a positive outlet for expression and healing. Creativity sparks character growth, instills confidence, and engages the mind on a journey of self-discovery. Jose embraces art’s power to heal. Not only does he think that art offers an avenue for communication and self-reflection, it also allows us to reinvent ourselves.
