In Rick's own words:
"Come enjoy this spring 2021 immersive Art experience with me in Amsterdam, that 17th century jewel of a city. Amsterdam is the European city I know and love best, having first visited there when I was 18, and have since been back to over a dozen times in the intervening years. It is there, among the Dutch architecture, canals and incomparable Dutch 17th c. paintings, that I first made the commitment to become a lifelong painter, and it remains the city of Art and artists from which I derive the most inspiration.
This workshop will be evenly split between drawing and painting excursions and trips to the major collections of the greatest of Dutch painters, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, among others.
Included will also be a first and last night's dinners. Our accommodations will be in the Central Canal Ring, at the four star Mercure Amsterdam Hotel, which will provide a great central location to allow walking distance to most of Amsterdams great attractions as well as picturesque painting and drawing locations.
I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm and the insights I have gained from my long term relationship with the city, as we explore it’s canals, parks, Art Museums and cafes together. See you in Amsterdam!"

So many fascinating things to know about Amsterdam.. Here are but a few.
1) It has more culture per capita than anywhere else. Thanks to its diminutive size and myriad museums, Amsterdam is reckoned to have more culture per capita than any onther city on Earth. ... Amsterdam also boasts a clutch of smaller, more eccentric museums, which deal with anything from drugs to deformities (yes, really).
2) Most Amsterdam neighborhoods are safe for walking, even alone, with a few exceptions. One place to avoid come nightfall is the Red Light District. While it's filled with all types of people during the day, the area attracts seedier visitors and vagrants at night.
3) There’s a good reason why Amsterdam’s houses are so narrow – and predictably it boils down to money. You see, back in the 17th century locals were taxed on the width of their properties, which, funnily enough, generated much interest in narrow-fronted houses. Cleverly, many of these properties were designed to be wider at the rear, thus only giving the appearance of being small.
4) With class differences, personal hardships and a tragic ending, Rembrandt’s relationship with his wife, Saskia, has all the makings of a Hollywood romance. Saskia van Uylenburgh met Rembrandt during a visit to her uncle’s house, an art dealer in Amsterdam. Her wealthy family considered Rembrandt an unworthy match but the pair let nothing stand in the way of true love and married in 1634. The two were inseparable, with Saskia posing for many of his famous paintings. Sadly, three of their children died shortly after birth. Their fourth child Titus was the only one to survive and Saskia herself died the year after he was born. Rembrandt’s luck went from bad to worse as he encountered financial trouble and sold his paintings, possessions, house and even Saskia’s grave to pay off creditors. Romeo and Juliet have nothing on these star-crossed lovers.
