Plein Air Watercolor: Exploring Greens in the Landscape

Join us for a watercolor plein air painting workshop set amid the lush beauty of the public garden with artist Ryann Carey.   This class focuses on capturing the many shades and subtleties of green found in nature. Students will learn how to mix naturalistic greens and create depth and variation within a monochromatic landscape. All levels welcome; bring your own materials.  Suggested supply list includes: basic multicolor paint set, palette or plastic plate, brushes, water container, paper towel or rag, watercolor paper or block (of a size that is comfortable for you without a table), pencil, eraser, tape (if not using a block) and optional painting board.

Fee: $58 (materials not included); 20% discount for Duke Gardens members with discount code.

Parking: Fees apply.

Location: Onsite at Duke Gardens. Meeting location will be included in a program reminder email sent the week before the program.

Accessibility: This will be a small group program that takes place outdoors and traveling on a combination of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines. You will be responsible for carrying your own supplies.
