At each stop\, participants will slow down\, closely observe their surroundings and mix paint to capture Catalina’s native landscape in a personal nature journal.  \nStanley will demonstrate her signature alla prima oil painting technique that uses bold\, direct brushwork built on deep observation. Learn to read color in light and shadow\, understand complementary relationships\, and blend color palettes that define Catalina’s visual identity. Conservancy naturalists will explain the ecological and cultural history behind each plant and its colors\, tracing the thread from native species to the art and architecture that represents Catalina.  \nWhat to Bring \n\nA reusable water bottle\nSunscreen\nLayered clothing\, as temperatures may vary throughout the day\n\nImportant to Know \nMeet at the Trailhead Visitor Center for a free shuttle to the garden.
