In this workshop presented by the Northwest Horticultural Society, Lorene will talk about color, it’s role in a pleasing landscape, and how her daily practice, which she posts on Instagram @seeing_color in the garden, has introduced an expansiveness to the way she views the world. All students will participate in a hands-on exercise using watercolors to record colors found in fragments of the natural world, a tiny blossom, a leaf, or a twig. This is not botanical illustration, but an exercise in learning to see with fresh eyes, and an opportunity to slow down, focus, and savor the season.
Following a brief introduction, using supplied materials, participants will create a nature-based color study. No prior art experience necessary.
