About the event
Combine hiking and creativity in this all-day adventure to Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver. We will have two creative stops along the beautiful shore line trail- a shorter stop at Juniper point and a longer drawing session at West Beach. Surrounded by ocean and the classic lighthouse view, I’ll guide you through a relaxed drawing session focused on landscapes, light, and perspective. You’ll learn how to capture the beauty of the coastline in your own unique way.
You’ll be led by Delaney an illustrator and graphic recorder who’s passionate about connecting with the outdoors.
