Watercolor Series: Sketching the Gardens
Event
Taking inspiration from The Huntington’s 130 acres of gardens, join artist Robert Sherrill for an eight-part series in watercolor sketching.
This fun and approachable course, incorporating pen, ink, pencil, and watercolor, is great for students of all levels. Participants will learn fundamentals of drawing and watercolor painting while exploring the unique natural and architectural elements of The Huntington virtually.
This event will be held via Zoom. The same link will be used for all eight sessions. Recordings will be available for two weeks after the class for review.
