- June 5: The Monarch & the Zinnia. When bright orange meets sassy pink you get an explosion of summer beauty and color, perfect for capturing in watercolor. We love how monarchs visit our Troy Historic Village gardens, including in the ABC Gardens, where Zinnias provide a colorful landing. Class takes place inside air-conditioned Niles-Barnard House at the Village.
- June 26: Lilacs á la Caswell House. Those blues, those violets, those greens! That mixed-motif look! We’re going to capture the very essence of the pretty lilacs that grow at the Village’s Caswell House. What classic, old-fashioned beauties lilacs are, and we’ll create their look on paper! Class takes place inside air-conditioned Niles-Barnard House at the Village.
- August 7: Peonies á la Caswell House. The Caswell House Gardens always pop with fragrant peonies, letting everyone know summer is in full swing! We’ll capture their beauty on paper with a lot of wet-into-wet techniques. Class will take place outside on the Village Green, under a canopy tent.
- August 14: Walkway Hollyhocks. Along the walkway at the Troy Historic Village are some gorgeous hollyhocks. We’ll take a look at them in the gardens before painting these beauties in a thoroughly fresh and impressionistic manner. Class will take place outside on the Village Green, under a canopy tent.
Watercolor classes start at 4:30pm sharp! Make sure to arrive on time so you don’t miss anything.
