En Plein Air Connections: Botanical Watercolour in Bloom

Using freshly gathered blooms and botanical patterns as inspiration, you'll explore approachable painting techniques while incorporating moments of mindfulness that encourage a deeper connection with the natural world. Suitable for all experience levels, this relaxed workshop offers personalized instruction in a welcoming and supportive environment.

All materials are provided.

Please note: This is an outdoor class that requries about a 10-minute walk with some steep slopes to get to the location. In the case of poor weather, the class will be moved indoors. Please arrive promptly for 1 PM. We will gather in the Lobby before heading to the outdoor workshop spot.

Thursday, October 15, 1 to 3:30 p.m.

Public $80, TBG Members $75 (plus applicable taxes and fees).
