Using photos of Allerton’s gardens as inspiration\, students will explore techniques for painting lush garden scenes\, creating glowing light subjects against dark backgrounds\, capturing fields of flowers without painting every bloom\, and simplifying complex landscapes into fresh\, expressive paintings.\nStudents will also cover some basic drawing skills and discuss tips for choosing a scene that will make for a successful painting. \n$170/person*.

Registration closes Sept. 25 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final. \n*Students should bring:\n– Watercolor paint\n–  A flat palette/mixing tray large enough to work with several colors at once\n–  Brushes (flat and round\, one of the flats at least 1” wide (flat).
