Teen Workshop: Botanical Bookmaking: Watercolors in the Garden

Saturday, March 8, 2025, 10:30AM

No charge. Reservations required.

Reservations are available for 2024-2025 programs for members on August 12 and for the public on August 19 for in-person attendance.

All materials are provided. Appropriate for ages: 12-18

Working with visual motifs shown in the exhibit, “Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature”, students will explore the thoughtful process of painting from observation. First, we will make a simple book structure, then we will walk the gardens to find our favorite flowers as inspiration for our paintings. Using watercolors and the power of delicate layering through transparency, students will embrace the beauty of the natural object.

Following the workshop, teens and families will be invited for complimentary admission to the exhibit “Rory McEwen: A New Perspective on Nature”.
