Treat yourself to three days painting some of the beautiful spring flowers in bloom at MassHort’s The Garden at Elm Bank. Tulips, crocuses, scilla, hyacinths, and other early spring flowers will serve as models for our paintings on vellum.

Through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on practice, learn to navigate the special characteristics of vellum. Artists will transfer their compositions, lay out a color roadmap, and apply controlled layers of color to build lifelike color, form, and value. Carol will guide artists through effective watercolor layering by regulating the quantity of liquid in the brush and managing brush carriage. Artists will address and repair the most common glitches that arise when working on vellum.
