Cocoa Picasso

Get cozy, sip some hot cocoa, and unleash your inner artist in this fun, family- friendly painting experience! Join Naturalist Amber as she guides you through a simple step-by-step gouache painting session that’s perfect for beginners and budding artists alike. With clear instructions, helpful tips, and creative encouragement, you’ll paint a beautiful nature-inspired scene – and leave with a work of art you’ll be proud to take home. This relaxing program is intended for ages 8 and up. All materials are provided- just bring your imagination!

We will be painting with gouache paint, which is a water-soluble paint but may still stain clothes. Please wear something you don’t mind getting paint on. You’re also welcome to bring a bottle of water.
