SKETCH and SAIL
Lady of Avenel - 2026

What?
Sailing on a square rigged brigantine, sketching the scenery, the sails, the boat, the crew, with sketching workshops and demonstrations from me, Alice Angus, Claudia Myatt.
Sailing and living on on the square rigged brigantine "Lady of Avenel".
When and where?
2026 dates:
May 31st - June 6th 2026 - Shetland
Aug 30th - 5th Sept 2026 - Scottish Western Isles
Why?
It's fun, it's inspiring, it's companionable, it's an adventure! And you can learn to draw! The voyage provides a multitude of subjects, and plenty of time to make pictures, with fellow artists who encourage and inspire you.

More information and booking via the Lady of Avenel website - or contact me.
