COLOURS OF NATURE

I have always enjoyed the outdoors. When I was young our family always camped in the summer months. My grandparents introduced us to birding, wild edibles, as well as all the lovely
wildflowers. I thought I would focus our workshop on wildflowers.

Have you ever wanted to try watercolour? You have heard all the stories,
Watercolour! Too hard to do! I plan to show you otherwise. I will provide all
the supplies for the class, come and give it a try.

Registeration deadline is May 20th.
