Join us for a vibrant morning of botanical appreciation and artistic exploration at the historic Wyck House. We’ll begin with a leisurely stroll through the gardens, drawing inspiration from its roses and spring blooms. The instructor will guide you through various drawing techniques using colored pencils, pastels, and more. After sketching in the gardens, we’ll move to the studio to develop our drawings into paintings, collages, or prints. Open to all levels of artistic and botanical knowledge, this session encourages free experimentation and creativity. Perfect for anyone who loves nature, Philly history, gardening, or visual art, this event offers a chance to refine your skills and express your impressions of a spring day with color, texture, and form.

Notes:

Materials provided. Students are invited to bring their own drawing, painting or collaging materials if they have favorites.
Fee: $49.00
