Enjoy a peaceful morning of hiking and painting at the stunning CREW Marsh Trails. After a brief hike to the Observation Tower, participants will craft their own watercolor memories of the marsh. Patty Chiappo, artist and devoted CREW Trust Volunteer, will give a brief introduction to watercolor painting and then inspire you to paint your own creation while overlooking the 5,000-acre marsh.
We will provide all the supplies so just bring your creativity and appreciation for nature’s beauty!
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or this is your first time using water colors, you will leave with beautiful, one of a kind artwork.
