Watercolor Adventure Journaling - How to capture memories, compose quick studies and integrate a creative practice into all of your outdoor adventures!

In this 2 hour workshop, students will learn beginner friendly watercolor skills and tips for creating quick, small art pieces during breaks and a trail journal that you and your loved ones can enjoy for years to come. After a brief overview and instruction period, we will practice exploring different subject matter by hiking to different locations in at the Basecamp 2023 event. Please bring a water bottle, snack, sun protection, lightweight seat or blanket (optional). Each registered participant will be provided with a basic watercolor kit and paper that is theirs to keep. Participants are free to use their own supplies if they already have a watercolor practice.

What you will learn:

• When and where to paint: paddling, biking, hiking, planes, trains and automobiles, anywhere!
• How to simplify your art kit and lighten your load
• Review of pre-made and DIY watercolor palettes, favorite materials
• What to paint and composition ideas
• Painting from photos and live references
• Ways to develop a daily art practice before you hit the trail to build confidence, skill and FUN!
