All watercolor artists are welcome, from adventurous beginners to experienced painters! Four Tuesday afternoons in May we will paint in the magical Van Vleck gardens. Each week will be in a different location in the garden. The class will concentrate on fascinating discoveries inspired by the variety of settings, from floral to trees to trails and secret gardens. Each class includes a demonstration of techniques, questions answered and personal attention for each student. We will work in the indoor studio in case of inclement weather. Supply list will be sent after registration.
