"Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor."

Sea Story aboard
the “Conception”

There is navigation
But no plot
For all depends on
Unseen elements--
The entrance of wind,
The rise and fall of swells.
Jazz-like we improvise
Our journey.

To sleep on the sea,
Eat with the rock
and sway, little seen lives
curving under us,
Landfall becomes punctuation
Marking a pause.
A comma,
Amid the liquid language
Of the ever shifting water

Containing us all
The Conception moves forward
From point to point—
Anchorage to anchorage,
The harbor only a dot
at the end of the sentence.

-Carol Whitehill
Student aboard our 2007 journey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Field Trips and Excursions


Discover a Bonanza of Creativity on your Boomtown Adventure

Take a step back in history to enjoy three days of drawing and painting. Ride the steam train! Visit silver mines and grave yards! Enjoy lots of practice sketching as you explore the old western mining town of Virginia City, Nevada, a National Historic Landmark.

Instruction begins with creating a simple journal. Then we will teach you to fill it with lessons in journal layout, quick sketch, nature journaling, people drawing, watercolor, gouache and many techniques.

Cost includes three days of instruction, all materials and a comfortable sketching location.

Lodging, food, steam train excursion and museums cost extra. The hotel is about $100/night double occupancy with continental breakfast.

Want to bring a non-sketching buddy? This unique and historic place offers adventures for people of all ages and interests.

Virginia City is just a 40-minute drive from Reno, but a world away from today.
