Art Workshop: Early Spring Bulbs

Art Workshop: Early Spring Bulbs: A Watercolor Workshop
10:00am-3:30pm

Enjoy a creative day using watercolors to capture the beauty of early spring bulbs. After a gentle walk through Hollister House Garden to observe color and form, you’ll return to the barn to create a watercolor garden vignette. Then, personalize your painting by adding an array of individual flowers – drawn from your own observations – to frame the vignette. Watercolorist Betsy Rogers-Knox will guide the group with a step-by-step demonstration and offer personal support throughout the day. All skill levels are welcome.

Bring a bag lunch. Water and snacks provided.
