Troy’s gardens and landscaping have long been a source of beauty and pride for the city and its residents. The gardens of Troy’s 2nd Street are full of native and imported plants, some of which date back as far as their accompanied brownstones. In this workshop Kayla Jolin will guide you through a watercolor painting experience inspired by the nature found within the city. During the first hour of class you will learn about watercolor techniques, practice mark making and how to implement them when painting botanicals. In the second hour, the class will take a field trip down the streets of Troy on a treasure hunt for beautiful plants to paint. After taking photos of found inspo, class will return to the studio to create a series of botanical paintings. Dress for the weather and be prepared to walk about two or three city blocks.
Open to all experience levels, students do not need any prior knowledge of painting or botany. All materials provided, but wear comfy walking shoes and bring your phone for taking photos.
