Painting The Bascom Gardens in Bloom with Hillary Parker

July 31 – August 2; 9 am – 4 pm 

Levels: I, II, III

Be inspired by the fragrant summer flowers in bloom as we join international award-winning naturalist and botanical watercolor artist Hillary Parker for her 3- day watercolor workshop! This fun and challenging workshop is open to all skill levels for students with previous drawing and watercolor experience. Students use the surrounding gardens and flower beds throughout the beautiful Bascom grounds to observe and sketch “plein air style” outdoors and then collect plants in bloom to focus on as we move back into the studio.
