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. If you would like to request an accommodation to support your participation in an adult learning opportunity at the Garden\, please contact SarahW@lewisginter.org or call 804-262-9887 x328 and we will make our best effort to help.

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. If you would like to request an accommodation to support your participation in an adult learning opportunity at the Garden\, please contact SarahW@lewisginter.org or call 804-262-9887 x328 and we will make our best effort to help.

SUMMARY:Advanced Watercolor for Botanical Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Students start each class painting with warm-up exercises designed to advance students’ brush skills and focus on art’s key elements (line\, shape\, form\, etc.). Wet-on-wet\, wet-on-dry and dry brush painting techniques will be practiced through creative play. The afternoon is spent integrating morning concepts into paintings. Throughout class\, students will practice techniques for producing clean\, crisp edges\, as well as soft and sharp lines. Students are expected to advance at their own pace\, relax and have fun while gaining the skills and confidence to progress their work. \nThe Botanical Illustration certificate curriculum is currently being redesigned. Students in this course can expect to share class space with peers of varying experience. This course aims to provide every student with the opportunity to advance their botanical illustration skills in a supportive environment that meets each student where they are. Individual or small group instruction will be provided by the instructor during class\, ensuring curated support. Slow and deliberate work will be encouraged. As a result\, students may not complete their work before class ends. This is acceptable\, as emphasis will be on skills progression over completion of work.  \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. Please note that the dates that were originally published for this course have changed. This now course begins in December 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.
