Workshop members will be transferred from the airport to your comfortable centrally located hotel in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is situated on a promontory surrounded by the beautiful waters of the Adriatic. It is renowned for its monuments, its magnificent walls and welcoming atmosphere. It was founded in the 7th-century by fugitives from the Roman city of Epidaurum. Its wealth was greatly influenced by the discovery of America and new trade routes. There will be time to freshen up before the group meets for welcome drinks and an included welcome dinner at the hotel.

DAY 2: WEDNESDAY MAY 21, 2008 DUBROVNIK
This morning we will join a local guide for a walking tour through Dubrovnik. We will see the impressive Fort of St John and the Sponza Palace, which was built in the 14th century as the mint for the city. We will visit Dubronik's Cathedral and Treasury built after the earthquake of 1667. The treasury is famous for its two hundred reliquaries. We will also see the Big Fountain of Onofrio, which stands in the square and dates from 1438. After lunch Charles will start the painting program with his first demonstration in a good location.
