SUMMARY:Intermediate Watercolor for Botanical Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Students in this course will continue to build on fundamental skills acquired in Intermediate Drawing\, Color Mixing\, and Intro to Watercolor. Through hands-on experiences\, artists increase their understanding of color. These experiences are designed to develop an “educated eye” capable of identifying hues\, color temperatures and coordinating values with increased accuracy. Artists are guided step-by-step to complete watercolor studies (both within and outside the classroom) utilizing traditional watercolor techniques crucial to creating depth\, form\, and the illusion of three-dimensionality. Slow\, methodical work is emphasized\, as is the need to record and document observations accurately using the scientific method. Artists must demonstrate a thorough understanding of the entire painting process\, from the preliminary work to the final product. This is done by visually documenting their planned approach from beginning to end. Pre-requisite: Introduction to Watercolor for Botanical Illustration. \nAll programs subject to change. Please note that the dates that were originally published for this course have changed. This now course begins in November 2023. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Succulent Candlestick Topiary
DESCRIPTION:Let’s create with succulents! Each student will choose their beautifully hand-carved candlestick and their succulents to create a topiary that they will design and fully customize. Melissa from Rusted Rabbitt will lead you through the process of distressing and using chalk paint in various shades on your wooden candlestick. Then\, each candlestick topper will have your own topiary attached using moss and adorned with gorgeous succulents in an array of varieties and species. Dried flowers and other natural items will also be available to enhance this living topiary topper. These beautiful pieces of living decor can be easily maintained and will flourish with very little care. Melissa will provide instructions as well as take home literature on how to care for your arrangement. \nAll programs are subject to change. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Maker Night: Locally Grown Dried Flower Wreath Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Create a one-of-a-kind dried flower wreath to showcase your creativity and add seasonal flair to your fall or holiday decor\, all while supporting a local flower farm. Designer Conner Parrish of Blossoming Roots Flower Farm will guide you in using dried flower material from the farm to create a base wreath on a grapevine form. You’ll add a variety of distinct dried flowers harvested from the farm and various seasonal decorations. This fun and festive maker night will be hosted at the Garden’s Cafe. We’ll have cookies\, hot cider and hot chocolate available (included) to snack on while you work on your wreath. Additional food and drink\, including beer and wine\, will be available for purchase throughout the workshop at the Garden Cafe. \nHurry—the first two wreath workshops we offered for Fall 2023 sold out almost immediately\, so we added two more wreath workshop opportunities. Reserve your space soon\, as we expect these workshops to sell out too! \nAll programs are subject to change. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.
