As the fall season approaches and the kids go back to school, this time of year has many feeling nostalgic about their own days in school, and wanting to spend time outside enjoying the cooler, crisper air. Well, here at Bonnet House, we may not literally be able to turn back time, but we can certainly provide opportunities for you to spend time outdoors and learn or improve upon a new skill.

This October, Bonnet House will be hosting two watercolor workshops for both beginner and intermediate skill levels and a Four-week Colored Pencil Drawing Workshop for all levels.

Our Beginning Watercolor Workshop will take place on October 11th,12th, 13th, 2022, and will cover various watercolor techniques and theories. This creative and informative adventure will be led by Barbara DiMartini over the course of the 3-days. To register for this workshop, click here.

Here at Bonnet House, we work to provide opportunities to teach and inspire our guests. These popular workshops are a great way to not only learn something new, but to also gain a new lens from which to view the world around you.

These workshops tend to fill up quickly, so book your spot today.

Beginning Watercolor Workshop

By No Comments

If you want to learn to paint, watercolor is a relatively inexpensive and rewarding way to begin. Watercolor theories and techniques are applicable to all painting mediums, but unlike other mediums, such as oil and acrylic, it is readily portable, clean up is quick, and easy (just use water!), and it’s non-toxic.

Embark on a creative adventure in the Bonnet House gardens by joining fine artist, Barbara DiMartini, for this exciting, informative, 3-day workshop.  Art tables are available in a shaded area.  Click here to view the supply list.
