Bring your watercolors or colored pencils and join botanical artist Helen Byers on Sundays, March 5 & 12 at Tower Hill Botanic Garden to draw or paint camellias during Tower Hill’s inspiring camellia show. Demos and instruction will focus on botanical art techniques in each medium to convey in detail the beautiful textures, forms, and colors of camellia petals, buds, and leaves. Our time will be divided between work in the conservatory and the classroom. The class will run from 10 – 4 each Sunday. To see examples of Helen’s work, go to helenbyers.com.
