Strengthen your plant shading skills with exercises in tonal scales, spheres, cones, and cylinders. Wellesley College’s Carol Ann Morley focuses this three day course on discerning tonal values and applying graphite pencil techniques. Working from botanical shapes such as flowers, fruits and berries, learn how to make botanical studies that have clarity, balance, and visual depth. For all levels – some drawing experience required. The class will be held in the Visitors Center of the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens from 9:30 – 3:30 August 22 – 24, and the fee is $250 for Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens, $300 for nonmembers. Register by calling 781-283-3094, or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
