HI, yesterday was my class at Norfolk Botanical Garden in Norfolk,Va. We painted Southern Magnolia. They were huge and so fragrant. Gorgeous flowers. We did some wash exercises,showing techniques,contour drawings of the flowers,and I did a demo of how to paint a hummingbird in watercolor and more. Everyone did a great job with their drawing and painting their Magnolias. We ate lunch outside,it was such a lovely day. So many gorgeous flowers,Bee Balm, Foxglove, Johnny Jump Ups,Iris, Red Hot Pokers.. ,it's such a lovely place. Do you have a Botanical Garden near you??
I hope you have a great weekend.. Love to you,Diana
One of my worst weekends ever but glad yours went so beautifully, Diana. The students' work looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a neat workshop
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely. I like the way they're on the table to show how large they really are.
I had to look up botanical garden Vermont. Google lists a Williamsburg, VT, but there's no Williamsburg in Vermont. Otherwise, there are gardens but no botanical type like where you are.
Sherry, Hope you are feeling much better. I'm praying for you. Thanks Maywyn, If you get a chance go to one of these gardens.. it's wonderful. Sending you each a hug, love,Diana
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately no we don't Diana... But what a gorgeous burst of flowery colour I got today! I love your new headed painting :0)
ReplyDeleteDiana - your painting on the top of your post is gorgeous...I am so glad you had a great week-end. Such fun to be surrounded by all that beauty - hope you got lots of good pictures...I am sure you are inspired. Hugs
