Looking to reconnect with nature, creativity and community?

We’ve got just the thing. Join Colorado artist Jo Nova on July 26 for a one-of-a-kind watercolor hike & paint event at Mt. Falcon West.

This immersive event kicks off Abstract Adventures’ Artist Spotlight series and is an exclusive opportunity to learn directly from one of our Community Artists trailside! 

What to Expect on the Trail

Embark with us and explore outside the ordinary. 

• We’re trading acrylics for watercolor as Jo Nova guides us through beginner-to-intermediate landscape painting techniques using varied brushes and a take-home plein air watercolor tin.

• The event begins at 9 AM with a 3-mile moderate guided hike through wildflower-filled meadows and shady forest trails. Along the way, soak in stunning Front Range views before settling into a serene trailside studio space.

• This grounded outdoor setting is designed to spark inspiration. All supplies are provided, and every brushstroke is about enjoying the moment and magic of plein air watercolor.

• You’ll also receive a gifted plein air travel tin to continue your watercolor journey wherever calls next.
