Watercolors for Beginners: Camellia

Friday, January 17, 2025

1:00-3:00pm

Instructor: Ann Marie Palmer

It's Camellia season at Leu Gardens! Learn to paint a beautiful pink and white Camellia using professional watercolors. Ann Marie will walk you through step-by-step instructions for painting your own watercolor creation. No previous watercolor painting experience required. After your class, take a walk through the gardens and see if you can find your camellia among the collection!

When Harry P. Leu gave his gardens to the City of Orlando in 1961, it was said that his Camellia assortment contained more than 1,500 individual plants. Today the internationally recognized camellia collection continues to expand and include many historic varieties and newly discovered species. Thousands of camellias are what make Leu Gardens unique and the array of shapes, colors and sizes provide outstanding color from December through March.

All supplies are included in your session fee.

Registration includes admission to the beautiful gardens before or after class.

Because watercolor actually moves on the paper, it is the most active of all mediums, almost a performance art. — Nita Engle
