Sunday morning at 9 am it's off, by pontoon boat, to the first location. (No boating experience necessary.) This is the Canadian Near North. Many of the locations can be reached only by boat. You get down to painting right away, taking advantage of the morning light. At noon, Keith will give a demo, then lunch, a short break and back to some serious painting for the rest of the day.
Monday we begin the day with painting a new location in the morning, a demo at noon, followed by more individual painting with Keith on hand for guidance and problem solving.
Tuesday we head off to a new location, a new demo and more gorgeous scenery.
Wednesday morning, more of the same and Thursday morning we head home.
