We'll begin with a basic sketch of your chosen landscape image, on which we'll note what shades and shapes will be used for each element such as the sky or trees. Then we'll get to the fun part of cutting out shapes from our media sources. We'll focus on circle and rectangle-shaped pieces, but feel free to get adventurous.

You will need:
- poster board or a canvas
- magazines/books
- scissors
- glue
- objects to trace circles
- landscape image for reference
- Mod Podge (optional)

Departing and returning from SULTANA’s home port of historic Chestertown (and occasionally other ports around the Chesapeake), SULTANA’s two-hour public sails are a great way to sail the Chester River onboard a traditional schooner. Passengers are encouraged to help raise the sails, steer using Sultana’s seven-foot long tiller, and explore the authentically reproduced crew’s quarters below-decks.
