RIVER DANUBE HOLIDAY
PAINTING
Your painting holiday is hosted by
myself and 5 world class watercolour
artists, Brienne Brown, Dan Marshall,
Keiko Tanabe, Ron Stocke and Randy
Hale, all renowned both for their
painting and their teaching. Although
each artist will act as host for their own
guests, you will get to meet and become
friends with painters from all over the
world, as well as getting to spend time
with some of your favorite master
painters. We’ll be having conversational
panel discussions after dinner where
you can ask questions of the leaders.
We will be doing demos mornings and
afternoons throughout the cruise, so
painters can sign up to watch a
particular leader at an appointed time
and location. Each day we will be
painting at a completely new location.
Although not a workshop as such, you
will not fail to be inspired both by the
hosts and your fellow guests. Should
you wish to take a break from painting,
there are many shore excursions
available, making this holiday
particularly suitable for non painting
partners.

TRAVEL IN STYLE
This is a chartered cruise, solely for us
with no other groups on board. Our ship
is the newest in the Amadeus line, The
Amadeus NOVA. It is being launched
and named this June and includes all of
the most up-to-date amenities. River
cruise ships are built to certain size
constraints dictated by the locks on the
European waterways. They are only
three decks in height. Staterooms on
the main and upper deck all have
window walls that retract so you feel as
though you are on a veranda watching
the countryside glide by. The lower deck
staterooms have a smaller non-opening
window. The upper deck also has suites
with balconies. Above everything is the
sundeck with canopies, lounge chairs, a
fleet of touring bicycles, a putting green,
shuffleboard and a sundeck lounge – all
offering excellent viewing while
underway. If this sounds like an
amazing once in a lifetime opportunity –
it is! A $500 deposit reserves your spot
and final payments are not due until 1
May 2025. Come and be part of this
amazing adventure.
