Carol Jessen Announces her Fall Boothbay Harbor, ME Workshop

Hi, All,

Well, I've just plunked down my rental fee for the Lions Club for this year's workshop, so the workshop September 8th - 12th is on!  This year's emphasis will be on color, with specific information on color choices for the watercolorist. 

The fee for this year's workshop has not changed!  While some other workshop tuition rates have skyrocketed out of reach for some students, my fee is still a reasonable $400.  Make checks payable to Carol Jessen, and mail to:

Carol Jessen

c/o PO Box 254

East Boothbay, Maine  04544

Email any questions to:  caroljessen@yahoo.com

Or call: 207-633-6414

Conveniently located right down the lane from the Lions Club is the very affordable Beach Cove Resort, perched high above West Harbor Pond. Please mention that are part of the workshop.  Other lodging:  Topside Inn, which overlooks all of the bay from high on McKown Hill and features the best breakfasts in Boothbay Harbor.  In fact, one of my students last year had to give a breakfast report every morning before we got started!  Ship Ahoy Motel on Southport Island is the most reasonable rate in the area.  Other choices include Brown's Wharf, Boothbay Harbor Inn, Tugboat Inn and a plethora of other lodgings which can be found at the Boothbay Harbor Chamber of Commerce website.

This will be primarily a plein air workshop, although the Lion's Club facility has ample room to spread out if we are forced inside due to weather.  If you need a list of suggested supplies, I can email it to you.

A daily demonstration to illustrate the day's lesson, a critique at the end of the painting day, and lots of individual attention as you ask for it will make the painting day full and productive.  I sure hope you can make it.  Plan now for an exciting week in this beautiful location! 

Best,

Carol
