Adventure Painting - Historic Village of Yan in Haida Gwaii, BC Canada

Learn about painting with Canadian landscape painters Men Who Paint (Greg Hargarten, Cam Forrester, Ken Van Rees, Paul Trottier and Roger Trottier) as they paint at the historic village of Yan in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia.
Discover the story of Canadian Painting icon Emily Carr, and her relationship with the Haida Nation, the small pox epidemic, Lauren Harris, and the Group of Seven.
Since their formation in 2007, Men Who Paint have embraced plein air painting. Inspired by the work and adventurous spirit of the early Canadian painters, the group, until recently, has spent most of their painting time outdoors. Their travels have seen them at many Canadian locations and abroad, including Northern Germany, British Columbia's Haidi Gwaii Archipelago, Alberta's Banff National Park and Peter Lougheed Provincail Park, Ontario’s Algonquin Park, Yukon’s Ivvavik National Park, Saskatchewan's Prince Albert National Park, Emma Lake, La Ronge and Cypress Hills.

I greatly appreciate the effort you put in these videos! I am so interested in Canada and want to visit and paint more there. Thanks so much for all the history and background you include! I create videos of my plein air paintings in the Pacific Northwest US - hopefully I’ll make it up into Canada to paint again soon.

Thanks Jon! Yes, I've seen some of your videos, we're actually hoping to paint in the U.S.-perhaps if the border opens again-the Yellow Stone and the Grand Canyon call! :) Thanks for watching!

what was the name of the charter company you used? I couldnt quite catch it in the audio.

[@GregHargarten]

Oliver Bell - HaGwa Charters, although I was unable to find any info on the web when I tried to look it up. Our host April set the charter up. Hope that helps
