In-Person Event at Knapp Land Nature Preserve located in El Paso, Texas.
Experience the beauty of El Paso's Chihuahuan Desert by joining us for an art painting session led by artist, Mayra Salinas, at Knapp Land Nature Preserve.
We'll meet at the entrance to Knapp Land, which is on the corner of Swanson Drive and Virgo Lane.
Together we will hike up a semi-steep trail about 5 minutes to reach the official entrance to Knapp Land. We will then break for a paint session. Mayra will provide some instruction on how to capture the scenery with your medium of choice and then let you explore your creativity on your own.
When the paint session is over we will hike back down the trail to exit Knapp Land.
