Adult Workshop: Harness the Colors of Nature through Watercolor
Saturday, May 11
1PM – 3PM
Join artist Cynthia Kukla for this workshop highlighting the spontaneous, rich, and varied qualities of watercolor. Starting with a review of basic color mixing, we will work from still lives of fresh flowers and plants found at Pyramid Hill, focusing on interesting compositions. We’ll warm up with preliminary sketches and quick color studies. Our ultimate goal will be to gain confidence with watercolors, helping you to create watercolor works as individual and dynamic as you! Beginners, pros, and all levels in between are welcome.
Nature/Nurture: Forest Bathing
Sunday, May 19
1PM – 3PM
Calm your mind and body with a forest bathing session at Pyramid Hill! Forest Bathing, or Shinrin-Yoku (“Bathing in the Healing Elements of the Forest”) is an evidence-based practice from Japan that quiets the mind by gently re-awakening our five senses - sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. The session involves a slow guided walk, a sequence of soothing, nature-based readings, moments of stillness, and poetry that will be led by Pam Lowe Cho, ANFT-Certified Forest Therapy Guide. You don’t want to miss this unique opportunity to reap the rewards of reconnecting with the serenity of nature.
Nature/Nurture series was sponsored by the Photography Club of Greater Cincinnati.
