. . . discover the light and beauty of the timeless Adriatic islands
Sail & Paint
Inspired by artist and teacher, Jessie Tomas, you’ll capture the untouched beauty, stunning light and moody waters of the Adriatic sea.
Sketchpads, paints and easels in hand, you’ll wander the islands, painting what moves you - colorful rooftops, quaint harbors and island landscapes of timeless Croatia.
You'll experience the allure that has drawn adventurers to the Adriatic throughout history - the Venetians, Turks, Ottomans, Greeks, Romans, Slavs and Europeans - and discover the architectural and cultural influences they left behind.
Capture the Soul of the Adriatic
Our Painters' Workshop & Sail touches all the senses as you immerse yourself in the true Croatia – traditional family owned konobas (restaurants) accessible only by boat, the sailing tradition and stunning sea, land and skyscapes of the Adriatic.
The Croatian crew know the secrets of the Adriatic Coast and make sure you have plenty of painting, drawing and relaxing time for sea, nature, village life, Dalmatian cuisine and wines, and local color.

Each day we sail to a new destination for painting opportunities and experience the exhilaration of sailing aboard the beautiful Fortuna sailing schooner.
You’ll spend 7 days and 6 nights sketching and painting the Fortuna under sail, the unique sun, sea and starscapes of the Adriatic and the unspoiled Croatian island life. After sunset you’ll gather around the table for authentic Dalmatian food, critique of the day’s work, one-on-one instruction and lots of great conversation.
Each evening you’ll moor in a different secluded bay, sleepy village or lively harbor.
We leave plenty of spare time to relax on the sun deck, explore on your own, have fun with the kayaks or even go water skiing.
