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. As the day progresses, Keith will give a demo, then back to the cabins for lunch and a short break before we head back to some serious painting for the rest of the day.
Monday we begin the day with painting a new location in the morning, followed by more individual painting with Keith on hand for guidance and problem solving.
Tuesday and Wednesday, more of the same. Thursday you are welcome to stay the morning painting before you head home.

The shared cabins, for the most part, have individual bedrooms. There are a few shared rooms. If your spouse is accompanying you, they share the room and bed. If you are accompanied by a non-painting friend, they have their own room.

The retreat is a self-catered affair. Each cabin has it's own kitchen, plus there is a large kitchen in one cabin where we can take communal meals if the participants wish to. This way individuals can prepare the food of their choice.
The large cabin is also where we hold our daily critiques, any workshops we do and were we work together in case of inclement weather.
When painting indoors, cover all tables and floors. Treat the cabins with respect.
