Channel your inner artist in a serene forest setting with adult colouring and DIY decorating

When you need a break from all the dancing at this year's Winnipeg Folk Festival, steal away to the CBC + Chill zone for an oasis of relaxation and creativity.

On Saturday, July 8 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. join CBC Manitoba for DIY decorating and colouring while some lovely folk melodies wash over you from the nearby Green Ash Daytime Stage.

We get it, being creative is not everyone's strong suit, which is why we've found some awesome DIY (do-it-yourself) visuals to show you how to channel your inner-artist.

Live colourfully

Let the kaleidoscope of pencil crayon colours be your guide to relaxation. CBC Toronto News reports on this growing trend.
