Jun 25, 2026 to Jul 5, 2026
Scotland, Norway, Iceland

Cruise and paint the Norwegian Fjords and join us June 25 - July 6, 2026 for a watercolor workshop cruise with instructor Andy Evansen

Experience Norway like never before with our watercolor workshops cruise through the striking fjords and coastal gems of the North Atlantic. Partnering with Windstar Cruise Line, our unique watercolor workshop cruise itineraries with Andy Evansen take you to picturesque villages, dramatic landscapes, and historic ports, offering the opportunity for plein air painting in stunning locations complemented by classroom-style instruction onboard.

From the medieval charm of Edinburgh to the sweeping fjords of Skjolden, Ålesund, and Molde, and the rugged beauty of the Faroe Islands, you'll capture the essence of these northern landscapes with a brush in hand. Explore remote harbors, vibrant coastal towns, and the volcanic allure of Reykjavik, Iceland, as you create unforgettable art and lasting memories.

Deposit & Final Payment:

To secure your spot on the workshop, the deposit is split into two parts:
  1. Workshop Fee: This initial payment reserves your space in the workshop. This is taken at check-out to secure your space onboard.
  2. Cruise Deposit: Once you've completed the registration form, we’ll send you a direct link from Windstar to secure your cruise booking and select any excursions. This will be 15% of your base cruise fare + excursions, all deducted from the total costs listed below and tracked via invoices for your convenience.

 

Why two parts? This approach avoids unnecessary credit card fees, offers better price transparency, and allows you to manage all remaining payments directly through the Windstar portal at your convenience—whether you prefer to pay in full or in installments.

 
Final payment deadlines will be outlined in your Windstar booking confirmation.

About The Watercolor Workshop

Watercolor workshops will be half-day sessions, for up to four hours per day. These are not full day workshops. Instruction will take place both onboard in a dedicated classroom space and off-board, where we'll have the opportunity to paint en plein air with the instructor in port. 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 afterward.
