Cairo, Egypt and the Nile by Private Sailboat
October 7th - 17th, 2025
For years I have been using watercolor sketch journaling to document my own personal trips and in this workshop I share with you my process, techniques and approaches – plus a vast variety of tips! Open to students of all artistic levels, Watercolor Sketchbook on the Nile is an immersion in Egyptian inspiration, as you create your own personal sketch journal with instruction and guidance. This art retreat is more than a sketching workshop. It’s a week filled with exploration, fellowship, camaraderie and fun beyond your wildest dreams!
“The rooms are gorgeous, the attention to detail, the gentle service, from beautiful humble men, a glassed room downstairs to paint, as you glide romantically down The Nile! Yes! The Nile! Oh my goodness, I’m sure I pinched myself at least 100 times!
There’s enough room to have quiet time to reflect and the sunrises will take your breath away–what are you waiting for?”
— Leigh Mansfield
