  • Tuesday, August 26 – Thursday, August 28, 9:30 am – 3:30 pm – Drawing Flowers and More

    Practice, practice, practice.  Give yourself these three days at the Wellesley College Botanic Garden to refresh and strengthen your own way of contour drawing.  Carol Ann Morley guides you through discovery exercises that help you draw accurately and confidently.  See in new ways, analyze flower and leaf shapes to recognize patterns and rhythms in botanical shapes, and conquer the perennial problem of foreshortening.  For all levels – some drawing experience required.  The classes will take place from 9:30 – 3:30 on Tuesday, August 26 through Thursday, August 28.  Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Garden: $250; non-members: $300.  Register by calling 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
