Painting in the Prairie

Join us for a creative morning to paint native wildflowers! We will learn about the flowers of the prairie and paint the ones we find along the trail using watercolors. Come get your very own watercolor set to take home and discover what makes our local ecosystem unique all while developing a greater appreciation for the beauty nature provides.

Painting supplies will be provided. Please note that easels and chairs will not be provided and we will be sitting along the trail as we paint. Sign up now as spaces are limited.

No experience with art is necessary to register. $10 per person. Ages 12+, please. Weather permitting.

Please meet in the Bluestem Room (downstairs) at the Loess Hills Lodge at 9:00 a.m.

Presenters:
