Irises are one of the most joyous flowers to paint, especially in watercolors.  The Presby Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair, NJ, is one of my favorite plein air destinations to paint.  They have more than 14,000 different kinds of irises in almost every color imaginable... certainly more than enough to motivate a watercolor painter!  Meet me at the gardens and together we’ll paint glorious flowers in an inspiring setting with a Victorian house as a backdrop. 

This plein air (in-person) workshop is appropriate for both beginners and more experienced painters.  Participating painters will get an informational email (including the materials list) prior to the workshop date.  There will be a lesson and demo at the start of the workshop about how to approach painting an iris. 

Rain Date: Wednesday, May 15, 2024 (10:00AM to 12:30PM DST)
