The Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens has added a three day Painting in Sepia class to its excellent calendar of classes and events.  Lara Call Gastinger will give a detailed approach to observing and painting spring specimens with a monochromatic sepia palette.  You’ll learn how to render stems accurately, create value, detail different textures, and use brush control to attain a tight finished look.  This is a great introduction to watercolor without the added complexity of color.  The class takes place Tuesday, April 26 – Thursday, April 28, from 9:30 – 3:30.  Friends members $340, nonmembers $415. Register by emailing wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu, or call 781-283-3094.  Watercolor below copyright 2014 Lara Call Gastinger.
