Join this Massachusetts Horticultural Society three part Beatrix Potter-inspired class with Tara Connaughton on Thursdays, June 12, 17, and 19. Previous drawing and watercolor experience is helpful, but all levels are welcome! Students will be encouraged to sketch ’botanicals and beyond’ (bugs, birds, birdhouses, nests, bunnies, chipmunks, etc.) and to use techniques and materials similar to that of this beloved illustrator. Students will be provided with paint dots of watercolor paint and ink similar to those Beatrix used. The first and third sessions will be held at the Gardens at Elm Bank, and the June 17 session will be live online via Zoom. MHS members $190, nonmembers $225. Register at www.masshort.org
