Overview
Begin your adventure with a beginner-friendly hike through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As you walk, your guide will share fascinating stories about the park's history and help you identify plants, including those used by the Cherokee for medicinal purposes. After the hike, set up your painting station and learn to capture the beauty of your surroundings with acrylic paint. Whether it’s a waterfall, a historic cabin, the "troll" bridge, or a sunset vista, your guide will lead you through a step-by-step painting lesson suitable for beginners or the experienced painter. Depending on the time of year, we can try to find elk in North Carolina or witness the magic of rare synchronous lightning bugs. With all painting supplies provided and a forgiving medium like acrylic paint, you can relax and enjoy the creative process.
