Painting along the Dutch canals

Sussex-based artist and sailor, Shirley Faure takes readers of Afloat on the Dutch waterways on an unforgettable voyage through Holland and the Meuse in Belgium, as seen from the deck of their Linssen 410 motor yacht.

Her keen eye captures the essence and vitality of these beautiful countries and depicts them in a stunning series of sketches and watercolours.

The book also features entertaining and enlightening observations and anecdotes about the rich history, architecture, wildlife, and of course, nautical pursuits in this most magical area of northern Europe.
