Watercolor Botanical Painting with Sarah Crossman
June 7 @ 10:30 am - 1:30 pm
Back by Popular demand! Following the sold-out tulip class, we’re excited to offer a second, all-new workshop with artist Sarah Crossman – this time inspired by the lush, romantic beauty of peonies.
This one-day workshop is designed for all skill levels. Whether you joined us for the first session or this is your first watercolor experience, you’ll enjoy learning new techniques and exploring a different floral subject.
Participants will work from a shared reference photo, learning step-by-step how to create a finished painting. Sarah will demonstrate key watercolor techniques such as washes, wet-on-wet, and dry brush, offering plenty of individual guidance throughout the session.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a completed painting and a solid foundation to continue your watercolor practice on your own.
Materials are provided, but feel free to bring your own watercolor supplies if you prefer.
Please bring lunch or snacks—we’ll take a short break to eat and recharge.
$75 Members / $90 Non-Members
