Join Russel Whitten for a one-of-a-kind opportunity to spend a day painting on Goat Island. Thanks to a special partnership with the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, we're excited to offer this unique watercolor intensive. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of one of the most picturesque locations in the Kennebunks, with limited public access. Goat Island, part of the KCT, features a fully operational lighthouse in Cape Porpoise Harbor, guiding boaters since 1883. Accessible only by boat during high tide, this experience is truly all about perfect timing.
Russel, a highly accomplished local watercolor artist and a two-decade member of the River Tree Arts Faculty, will lead the workshop. This experience is made possible by the generous support of the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and our shuttle sponsor, The Nonantum Resort, which will provide transportation from River Tree Arts to the Cape Porpoise Pier and back, as there is no parking available at the Pier. The Lightkeepers will ferry participants to and from Goat Island aboard a KCT vessel.
What to bring:
- Bag lunch
- Plenty of bottled water to stay hydrated.
- Dress in layers and be prepared for changing weather. Remember, this is Maine—conditions can shift quickly, and it may be cooler on the island than on the mainland.
- Sunscreen and a hat.
- A towel or small packable blanket.
- Materials list (click link to view).
Space is limited, with a maximum class size of just 10 participants.
