Explore Coastal Maine with me. The beautiful waterways, boats, woodland settings, and country architecture all call to be captured in a watercolor.
Accommodations: Feel free to locate your own place to stay, VRBOs and Airbnb's available, as well as references from local friends. Bring snacks and preferred drinks for 'happy hour'. Most places will have a kitchen or kitchenette, incase you have special dietary needs. Breakfasts, make at home lunches and dinners possible that way as well.
We have rented The Barn Loft Apartment, Damariscotta, 144 Bristol Road, Damariscotta, ME. home of artist Will Kefauver and his wife Amy.
Lovely location. 4 participants will share this apartment.
Several others have selected the Hawk House Inn, in nearby Walpole, ME. Check out their rates and availability.
Jan Kilburn's Gallery, where I will be staying. 168 Bristol Road, Damariscotta, ME.
Doris [and her car with extra easels if you'd like to borrow one, let me know!], will arrive Monday, staying through Friday night.
Class starts 9:30, 5/12, Day 1 painting location to be announced.....ends Friday afternoon. I hope we can plan a group supper after an evaluation/critique.
Departure will be Saturday morning 5/16.
Daily Painting locations, TBA. Weather plays a part in our location choice, so we'll decide on our location views as we get closer. Pemaquid Point is definitely on the list.

It is so beautiful along this coastal region. Damariscotta is home base, but we will go up to 1/2 hour to places around as well. End of afternoon we'll wrap up with a relaxing wine/or tea and snacks get together, discussing the works from the day.
Critique, but not critical. This is valuable for looking at improving your work and establishing your style. Join ME!
