Wellesley College Botanic Gardens is holding an in person, three day class in the Putnam Classroom at The Gardens at Elm Bank in Wellesley on August 9 – 11 from 9:30 – 3:30. Hydrangeas, gorgeous ornamental plants that come in a variety of colors and sizes, are lovely in all stages, from spring blossoms to fall colors. Catherine Watters will teach you how to observe and draw your subject, focusing on form to accurately depict the inflorescence. Color mixing demonstrations will show how to layer colors to capture the depth, shape and texture of your subject, making your work come to life. The focus is on watercolor, but you can use graphite or colored pencils if you prefer. Suitable for all Techniques level students. Wellesley College Botanic Garden members $425, nonmembers $525.
