Garden Watercolor Journaling

Art Workshop: Garden Watercolor Journaling: Vignettes
October 3 10:00 am – 3:30 pm

Join us as we use our garden journals to create several watercolor vignettes celebrating the glorious autumn garden. With Hollister House and its picturesque pathways and garden rooms as inspiration, learn how to capture multi-element, garden scenes and vistas. Class demonstrations and a step-by-step approach will provide plenty of drawing and watercolor tips, both inside the barn and outside in this beautiful garden setting. All skill levels are welcome, and beginners are encouraged to join! Bring a bag lunch. Water and snacks provided.

Required Materials: Journal and pen, $30, are required for all new garden journaling students and should be purchased with your reservation. If you participated in a Hollister House Garden journaling workshop previously and wish to use the journal and pen you previously purchased, please be sure to bring them to class.
