Canvasing the Blue Mountains, Australia

Season 1 Episode 103 | 26m 46s | CC

Sean lives in a treehouse, meets a man who built a literal “man cave,” and finds a body painter that makes her subjects disappear into nature. Sean also interviews an Aboriginal Elder who was taken from his native family to be raised in white society – sparking inspiration for his painting “The Stolen Generation.”
