Alaska

Cruise and paint Alaska July 22 - 29, 2027 on a watercolor workshop cruise with instructor Andrea Patton.

Experience Alaska like never before with our watercolor workshops at sea. Partnering with Silversea Cruises, our unique Alaska watercolor cruise itinerary takes you through glacier-lined fjords, remote coastal towns, and breathtaking wilderness, offering the opportunity for travel sketching and plein air painting inspired by dramatic landscapes, wildlife, and the natural beauty of the Last Frontier, all complemented by small group classroom-style instruction onboard from Andrea Patton.

*This workshop is beginner friendly and supply bundles will be provided as an optional add-on.

Deposit & Final Payment:

To secure your spot on the workshop, the deposit is split into two parts:

  1. Workshop & Planning Deposit: A deposit of $1,750 is due at checkout to secure your space onboard. $750.00 of this is immediately nonrefundable. The remaining balance is fully refundable until February 22, 2027.
  2. Cruise Deposit: Once you've completed the registration form and Payment Authorization Form, we will submit a required 15% deposit directly to the cruise line to secure your cabin. This will be 15% of your base cruise fare, deducted from the total costs listed below and tracked via invoices for your convenience.

Why two parts? This approach avoids unnecessary credit card fees and offers better price transparency.

Cancellation Policy:

 

All payments are fully refundable until February 22, 2027, with the exception of the $750 nonrefundable deposit. Cancellations of the workshop after October 22, 2026 will incur a $250 cancellation fee.

Final payment deadlines will be outlined in your Silversea and Paint By Destination Terms & Conditions.

About The Watercolor Workshop

Watercolor workshops will be half-day sessions, for up to three hours per day. These are not full day workshops. Instruction will take place onboard in a dedicated classroom space. These workshops are designed to compliment the travel experience, not take over the day. There will be no painting or instruction during the guided excursions, as our sessions will be scheduled before or after.
