Watercolor: Harvest Bloom

Become inspired by the displays of “Harvest Blooms” and “Pumpkins Aglow“- and get a sneak peek of the exhibits the night before they open! We’ll study the various hues and shapes that make up our pumpkin filled displays and start class with a demonstration on watercolor techniques and color mixing, with an opportunity to go outside and sketch from real life (weather permitting) before heading back to the classroom. Then you’ll get to work on your final piece, and you will leave class with a pumpkin-filled memento of an evening at the Franklin Park Conservatory.

All supplies are included. All levels welcome- perfect for anyone looking to learn watercolor fundamentals while creating a beautiful nature inspired painting.
