Watercolor classes aboard the Celebrity Millenium to Alaska

     Gary and I just returned from a wonderful adventure in Alaska.  I was accepted by a third party company to participate in the Celebrity Life program while cruising the inside passage from Vancouver to Seward on the Celebrity Millenium.  My classes were scheduled on "at sea" days and one day when guests were tendered ashore to excursions at Icy Strait Point.
     The company supplied a watercolor kit for each attendee that included a pallette, 3 brushes, 6 tubes of paint, and several 9x12 sheets of watercolor paper.  After my proposal for the 3 claasees was accepted, I was responcible for any additional supplies.  We did a whales tale and a penguin so I supplied black watercolor which was not part of the kit.  I also brought templates for drawing and graphite paper which sped up the drawing process and guaranteed a successful result.  Classes were set up in lounges or in the disco and I always had a table to demonstrate on.  Several guests attended all 3 sessions and we always had 20+ guests for each class.   Several parent and children groups attended as this as this was something families could do together.  When I wasn't teaching, Gary and I were regular passengers on the cruise.  We enjoyed visiting all the ports on the cruise.  I will be evaluated for my sessions and it is my hope that we will be able to do this again.  Here are some pics from the classes.
