In this intermediate watercolor class at The Morton Arboretum, work with graphite and add a touch of watercolor to bring out the colors of autumn.
Working with specimens from the grounds of the Arboretum, participants will review graphite techniques, then add watercolor to bring out details of their subject.
This workshop includes both instructor-led demonstrations and time for participants to practice with instructor support.
Students will be given a sampler of watercolors and paper to use for the class.
This program meets in person at the Arboretum.
