Join us for a creative spring day at our private wooded 1000 acre ranch and nature preserve in the Sierra Foothills, surrounded by wildflowers and natural beauty.
 

Our day will begin with a guided lesson on how to draw and paint wildflowers with watercolor, helping you capture their delicate forms with ease. We will then head out for a nature hike where we will get a chance to enjoy spring in its full glory while we gather leaves, flowers, and other natural elements to use in your artwork. Along the way, you can stop to sketch a wildflower or collect a few to draw later.

After our hike, we will learn how to create beautiful impressions on cards and canvas bags, preserving the textures and shapes of the natural world. You can also incorporate your newly learned flower-drawing skills onto your cards and bring them to life with your handmade watercolor set, which will be provided to you to use and keep.
To complete the experience, you’ll learn how to use a wax seal to add a special, nature-inspired touch to your cards.

•    A quick guided lesson on how to draw wildflowers.
•    A scenic hike to gather leaves, flowers, and inspiration.
•    Creating nature impressions on cards and a canvas bag.
