Hike & Paint in Hyalite
July 20 @ 8:45am
Join me for a hike and paint in Hyalite Canyon! This is an “en plein air” 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 carry these items in the backpack provided):
– 1 liter of drinking water, minimum
