Art Cruise 2016

Art Cruise dates : February 27 - March 6, 2016

Cruising is the ultimate way to relax and recharge. Imagine unpacking just once and being transported to beautiful tropical islands. All your needs are taken care of leaving you free.... free to create art and practice the art of relaxation.

Escape the cold this winter and join me on an 8 night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the beautiful Carnival Breeze.

What is special about an Art Cruise?

Visit four wonderful islands in the Eastern Caribbean. This itinerary includes some of my favorite ports of call: St. Thomas USVI, St. Maarten NA, Antigua and Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. This itinerary also has three sea days.

Learn the practice of 'Plein Air Lite'... how to simplify our supplies and painting process. We will learn how to paint with less and experience more.

Discover the art of the sketchbook. The ship and the islands provide perfect material for our travel sketch journals. We will keep a multimedia sketch journal.

Explore the ports of call with your camera on our photo safaris. Discover how to get the best shots with any camera. Learn how to see better and make better use of your photos for painting references.

Discover the wonderful world of painting small and give 'Lounge Chair Painting' a try. Learn tips and tricks for keeping things simple.

Learn pastel painting techniques and tips for painting the tropical scenery through my demonstrations, instruction and hands-on help. Clouds, skies, water, sand, tropical flora, colorful buildings and adding figures to a landscape will all be covered.

Meet new friends who share the same Art Spirit as you. Share your passion with other like minded artists.

Slow down. Relax. Spoil yourself. Let the warm sunshine and gentle tropical breezes release the paintings that are waiting to come out!
