At each location we will have the opportunity to wander around and photograph first then situate ourselves away from the crowds for our lesson. My personal approach to making art on location is to capture a sense of place. A well observed sketch with a solid structure can be used as a source for subsequent work created in your studio back home! I will start each session with a step by step explanation for visual strategies such as capturing light, emphasizing color, or planning the compositional elements. You are free to try out the concept for any given day or to do your own thing. I will be on hand to assist you or to answer any questions you may have. Supplies: Tutku Tours will provide folding lawn chairs for each participant. You may want to bring along a plein air umbrella and a large hat. We will work small, on our laps to cut down on hauling around easels and other equipment. I recommend a 14x18” portfolio which is on the small side but will fit nicely in your lap. You may want to get a drawing board that will fit inside the portfolio you choose. Martin Universal Design Pissarro Portfolio at Dick Blick has adjustable compartments for organizing your supplies. As of today the 14x18” is listed at around $55.00. Suggested Media: • Travel sized watercolor kit or a selection of water colors with a palette. • Water soluble colored pencils • Graphite pencils (2B, 4B, 6B, 8B) and water soluble graphite pencils (Light, Medium, Dark) • Selection of Pigma Micron pens • Niji, or water brush. Small selection of watercolor brushes • Pencil sharpener, (the kind that contains your pencil shavings as we don’t want to leave anything behind!) • Erasers, (a battery powered eraser has a lot of benefits when used with a steel stencil!) • Chamois, stainless steel stencil, water cup for painting, packet of hand wipes, masking tape. Paper: Watercolor paper. Watercolor post cards work well or a small watercolor paper block. Pastel paper. (I use black paper, it has a nice effect. Get a large sheet and tear into different sizes.)

The analysis combines post‐event field survey observations, video records examination and an evaluation of interviews with local authority officers and eyewitnesses. The event was a near‐field tsunami arriving within 10’‐15’ at the north coast of Samos and at the eastern side of Ikaria island. From seven far‐field tide records we calculated tsunami magnitude Mt=Mw=6.8. In Vathy town (NE Samos) two strong inundations have been clearly recognized with arrival time difference of 20’, the second being more powerful as compared to the first. Maximum run‐up was measured at h~2.0 m asl in run‐in distance d=97 m. In Karlovasi (NW Samos) a strong inundation (h~1.70 m at d~80 m) was reported immediately after an initial sea water retreat in ~10’ after the earthquake.

The northeast edge of the Aegean is dominated by the islands of Limnos, Agios Efstratios, Lesvos, Psara, Chios, Oinousses, Samos, Ikaria and Fournoi. Singular islands, with history’s marks still easily discernible, they are living organisms of multifaceted cultural activity and expression, with popular events and traditions, performing and visual art forms, local products and practices, and architectural styles. The unique natural environment and variety of scenery make the islands of the N. Aegean stand out and lead visitors to trails for exploration and recreation. Wetlands with rare flora and fauna, salt marshes, waterfalls, dense forests of pine, walnut, oak, olive groves, mastic trees are just a few of the things to be enjoyed on the islands. The islands of the North Aegean, so very different from one another, like the pebbles on a beach, have something that brings them together and yet makes them stand out. They have managed to maintain their local culture and natural environ- ment, offering visitors unique images, flavours and scents of times past. “Anemoessa” Limnos of the rocks and Poliochne - the most ancient organized city in Europe – crowned with its vineyards and its islands, almost untouched by time.
