Thursdays, May 1 – June 12, 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm – Watercolor Landscapes

The Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens will sponsor a class on seven consecutive Thursdays, May 1 – June 12, from 1 – 4 pm on campus, entitled Watercolor Landscapes.  Susan Swinand teaches adults at all levels of experience to solve those awkward problems of painting on location: changing natural light and cast shadows, elements of atmospheric and linear perspective, color and composition and all the techniques you’ll need for success.  Learn to use ordinary elements of nature for expressive purposes.  Follow your own interests in the classroom or work on site in the gardens.  One-on-one instruction and group critiques further your progress as you explore what makes a painting work. Friends price is $200, nonmembers $250.  Register by calling 781-283-3094, or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.

Be sure to join them for this special pair of presenters and the annual meeting and luncheon. $10 donation requested.
