A weekend of hiking and art held at Mohican Outdoor Center, beginning with a presentation on the Hudson River School of Art and their romantic view of the landscape. Then enjoy guided hikes where participants are encouraged to photograph or sketch the beautiful views along the Kittatinny Ridge at a particularly lovely time, as the wildflowers are in bloom. Evenings are optimal to create a watercolor painting using sketches and/or photographs as inspiration. You are free to engage in the planned activities as much or as little as you please and are always free to paint, sketch, photograph on your own.
Starting April 3, 2019
