Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
In this workshop, we'll use alcohol inks and acrylic paint to create two 9x12 floral bouquet paintings, both matted to 11x14. Learn techniques that transform abstract backgrounds and use negative-space painting to create beautiful works of art.
Calling all creatives! Get ready to dive into your artistic side with macro photography. Join us to learn how to make your own bouquet and then gain some tips on how to photograph your flowers to make their beauty last. All levels welcome and no previous photography education necessary. Phone cameras are more than welcome. If bringing a DSLR camera, please ensure you have it's basic working knowledge as we will not be able to help onsite. Each attendee will leave with: a flower bouquet and macro photography tips booklet to ensure you've got the essential knowledge and goodies to keep your creative juices flowing even after the class.
