jayally1968 Posted January 14, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2023 My last QM2 cruise was in 2018 and I thoroughly enjoyed the daily watercolor art class. I know a lot of things have changed since then but can anyone let me know if they're still doing them? I will be cruising July 14th 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 14, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2023 They were during our November trip on QV. Still $35 for the kit. Here's an effort from November: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In September on the QM2 they were in Progress after lunch in the Britannia Restaurant and not the Atlantic Room as in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted January 14, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2023 During the November Caribbean cruise on QM2, there were watercolor classes at 10:00am and 2:00pm on sea days on the port side of the Britannia Restaurant upper level (deck 3). Mrs. Bluemarble participated most days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebo Posted January 17, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Is this charge for the course or for equipment. Seems a little excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The charge is for the kit. I wouldn't know, but by most accounts it is well worth it. Here is what was included in the kit Mrs. Bluemarble received. Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolour Sketchers' Pocket Set Paints 3 Winsor & Newton Cotman Brushes: • 19mm Series 666 One Stroke • Size 8 Series 111 Round • Size 2 Series 333 Rigger Winsor & Newton Watercolour Pad (11in x 14in, 140lb, 12 sheets) Winsor & Newton Medium Kneaded Putty Rubber Colart Small Rectangular Palette Conté à Paris 2B Graphite Pencil Conté à Paris Pencil Sharpener Edited January 17, 2023 by bluemarble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted January 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted January 17, 2023 The kit varies, for example, the art teacher may wish to work in a different medium such as pastel. Nevertheless, you don't have to buy the package to participate, just bring your own and in that case it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good brands and probably worth it but with the Aussie dollar so bad may bring my own. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milleruszk Posted January 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted January 21, 2023 My wife is a watercolour instructor on Cunard. The kit costs $35.00. There is no other charge. If you have your own supplies it costs nothing. This is for the entire voyage. You can attend the 10:00 AM class or the 2:00 PM class on sea days. Some students attend both. We will be on the May 25th Queen Victoria voyage from Southampton around the British Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy99 Posted January 23, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Are the classes limited? Do you need to register or sign-up? Is it likely they will happen on a transatlantic (6 sea days)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jack E Dawson Posted January 23, 2023 #12 Share Posted January 23, 2023 You do not need to register, just show up. They will definitely happen on a transatlantic. The classes are progressive and cover all 6 sea days. All (or no, in my case) skill levels are welcome. Enjoy. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a limit mentioned in the latest daily programmes I have from November-December 2022 on QM2, but the daily programmes I have from earlier years mention the watercolour art classes are limited to 25 guests. First come, first served I suppose if the limit should happen to be exceeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our May Crossing there were quite a few people on the first day but a lot of people thought it was a one and done program and class size drops about 1/3 on the second day. I really like that if you have a scheduling conflict with the morning class you can drop in on the afternoon class for that day and vice versa.
