We’ve chartered the entire ship! So, excluding the friendly crew and staff, just about every passenger will be a fellow sketcher! Your four workshop instructors are: Cindy Briggs & Theresa Goesling, Judy Salleh and Leslie Fehling! This once-in-a-lifetime creative journey includes: 8 days and 7 nights of luxury travel on the historic River Rhine, from Basel (Switzerland), through Ribeauvillé and Strasbourg (France), to Mainz and Cologne (Germany), from Arnheim to Nijmegen (The Netherlands), finally docking in Amsterdam. We will paint as the journey unfolds—sometimes on the boat as it glides along the water, other times outdoors in the heart of beautiful cities. You’ll have plenty of time to wander, absorb the local culture, and enjoy a bit of shopping.
