About Eco-Art Boat

After a brief introduction, participants will create a watercolor image of a river scene, using supplies provided by the Big Thicket Association. This is a great way to observe the natural habitats in the cypress and tupelo backwater bayous of the Big Thicket National Preserve. Please keep your painting as a souvenir of your trip!
