Painting in Amsterdam

Our return trip to The Netherlands was primarily to paint in Amsterdam with a group of 12,  sponsored by Workshops in Yorkshire. (Rosemary Brushes)
Of course April was tulip season and they were blooming everywhere indoors and out, and Spring was sparkling. The city is a grid of canals and packed with bicycles, cafes and art. We spent time in the Rijksmuseum, VanGogh Museum and Rembrandt's House. City Parks, Tulip gardens and an outing to the Rembrandt Paint factory with a behind the scenes tour filled the days between paint times. 4 finished paintings, two sketchbooks of watercolor and ink and a camera packed with images completed our 12 day trip. I cannot imagine a better planned and organized trip.  My memories and images are precious.
