BASIC WATERCOLOR
FOR BEGINNERS

If you have ever wanted to put a paintbrush to paper, this is your opportunity! Learn basic watercolor techniques and practice drawing skills to use in expressing the inspiration provided by the Garden. Referencing landscape views from the Garden, we will create a landscape painting over the course of four sessions. With the certainty that every single human being has the ability to create, all are welcome to this “beginners” class. All materials will be supplied. Repeat participants are welcome in this course, as we never paint the same thing twice!

Fees: Member $110, Non-Member $132

She has had her own studio and gallery, taught “in home” painting workshops and served as adjunct faculty for the VCU Art Education Department. She strongly believes in everyone’s ability to create and the pure joy to be found through “playing” with a variety of art media.

I have had the privilege of working surrounded by beautiful, ever-changing inspiration and meeting the most wonderful people.”
