Paintings Inspired by Patterned Gardens at Chicago Botanic Garden

On Wednesdays explore three different pattern-themed gardens that will inspire your paintings. The patterns of polka dots, chevrons, paisley, herringbone and diamonds in garden design layouts, together with physical structures (walkways, walls, artistic displays), will spark interesting painted compositions. You will incorporate pen and ink to enhance the design and organization of the different elements in your en plein air paintings. Dress for the weather. Watercolor media with pen and ink. A supply list will be sent.
