Still-Life Watercolor: Paint Desert Plants

TIME: 8:30-11:30 a.m.
PRICE: Member $51.95 | General Public $64.95


Whether you are a beginner, an old pro, or somewhere in-between, beat the heat and pamper your creative side: Come watercolor paint indoors at the Garden! We will paint cactus and other desert plants still-life.

Explore watercolor and paint spines, pleats, and the back-lit glow of a barrel cactus; the roundness and pleats of a saguaro; negative space and the jaunty prickly pear. Instructed by Christin Quissell. Garden admission included.
