Join me for a hike and paint in Hyalite Canyon! This is a plein-air painting class, meaning we will paint “in the open air” and create the beautiful scenery in front of us.

What I will bring: Upon arrival, I’ll provide each artist with a backpack. Inside you’ll find:

• A standing easel

• Jar filled with water (for painting, not drinking)

• Brushes

• Paint palette

• Canvas

Hike details: We will meet at the Hyalite Day Use Area at 8:45 am to beat the crowds. We’ll take off from the parking lot at 9:00AM, sharp, and hike to the far end of the Westshore Trail Loop. The entire hike is 2.8 miles from start to finish with 275 ft of elevation change, and is rated “easy.”

Event duration (~4 hours):

• Hike in (relaxed pace) ~ 1 hour

• Paint ~ 2 hours

• Hike out (relaxed pace) ~1 hour

What YOU need to bring (you can put these items in the backpack provided):

• 1 liter of drinking water, minimum

• Snacks/ lunch

• Comfortable hiking shoes

• Additional clothing layers

• Hat/visor

• Sunglasses

• Sunscreen

  * Important note: You can adjust the height of your easel, meaning you can sit or stand. If you have a lightweight camp chair that you’re comfortable packing in, feel free to bring it along. However, I recommend standing!

  * If weather prevents us from painting I will email you the night before the event with a back-up date. If you can’t attend the rescheduled event I will provide a refund.
