About the event
Join the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council for an evening of creativity and conservation at the "Watercolour with Weeds" workshop, brought to you by EKISC.
In this unique workshop, we will dive into the fascinating world of invasive species, learning about their impacts on ecosystems and the environment. But here's the twist: we'll explore these invaders in a whole new way—through art!
Get ready to unleash your inner artist as we introduce you to a variety of invasive plants and guide you in creating stunning watercolor paintings using their unique features and colors. We'll provide the materials and expert guidance, ensuring you have everything you need to express your creativity while learning about the ecological challenges posed by invasive species.
Throughout the evening, you'll discover how these invasive plants disrupt natural habitats, threaten biodiversity, and compete with native species. Gain a deeper understanding of the importance of early detection and effective management strategies while enjoying the therapeutic and expressive qualities of watercolor painting.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this workshop welcomes all skill levels. Unleash your imagination, mingle with fellow nature enthusiasts, and leave with a beautiful piece of artwork that serves as a reminder of the impact we can make in the fight against invasive species.
