Painting with Nature
You can make a beautiful painting - with just the materials you find at hand outside! Naturalist educators Amber Stacey and Lydia Konecky from the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy show us how to draw and paint using objects like leaves, rocks and mud. It's a fun, inexpensive and creative activity to do at home.
