Plein-Air Watercoloring at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden

If you’ve wanted to try watercolor but didn’t know where to start, this workshop is for you! Please join us in the garden of the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden at the height of its spring flowering. You will learn different ways of using your brush to create leaves, petals, stems, and bushes. You will also learn to make gradations from light to dark, one color to another, and how to control the water.

You don’t have to know how to draw—color comes first!

No experience necessary.

Materials supplied. If you have your own materials, feel free to bring them.

Please have a tea towel to protect your clothes from paint spatters.

See how watercolor painting outdoors in plein air lends itself to capturing the changing light and colors of the garden and receive an introduction to this NYC historic landmark. The program includes a 30-minute garden tour followed by a painting session in the garden under the guidance of a professional artist.
