Flowers, leaves, and seed pods are often just as beautiful from the back or sides as they are head on. Explore a botanical subject of your choice from various angles and include these different perspectives in a work on vellum. Esther Klahne will discuss nuances of composition and ways to integrate several small studies into a beautifully cohesive painting, in this class to be held at the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens on Saturday, May 17, from 9:30 am – 4:00 pm. Tips on using graphite and watercolor on vellum will be discussed. Fee ($95 for Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens, $120 for non-members) will include project vellum, backing board and handouts. To register call 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
