Blossoming of Spring
Plein Air Watercolor Class with Sharon Pitts
Dates: Tuesdays, April 2, 9, 16, 23
Time: 1:00 – 3:30 PM
Instructor: Sharon Pitts
Description: Our spring series will focus on the delicate colors and forms as spring emerges. Unfurling ferns, leaves unfolding, buds and shoots appearing are fascinating to witness and capture in paint on paper. Each class will be in a different location in the garden and includes a demonstration of techniques, questions answered and personal attention for each student. We will work in Van Vleck’s Raymond Family Education Center in case of inclement weather. Some watercolor experience is desirable. Supply list will be sent after registration.
Fee: 4-class Series: $200 Members / $225 Non-Members
