Surround yourself with the magic of the forest for a whimsical day of art, nature, and inspiration at Ancient Lore Village—one of the most unique and enchanting things to do in Knoxville.
Join us for Canvas & Canopy, a guided painting experience where the trees, flowers, and woodland breeze become your artistic muse. Beneath our shaded canopy, you’ll create your own 8x10 canvas masterpiece—whether it’s a misty forest path, a bright burst of wildflowers, or the textured bark of an ancient tree. No painting experience? No problem! Our Village instructor will lead you step-by-step in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop.
You’ll experiment with:
- Acrylic paints and natural materials
- Homemade pigments from berries, leaves, coffee, and more
- Leaf-printing and forest-inspired collaging
Let your creativity run wild as you dip your brush into nature’s palette.
When your artwork is complete and drying in the open air, enjoy a refreshing buffet lunch surrounded by the beauty of the Village.
