Paint a Topiary Garden in Watercolour

Saturday 14th November

11.30am to 3.30pm

at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Maidenhead, SL6 4PF

Topiary gardens are often a wonderful mix of organic and geometric forms, providing a great opportunity to depict forms tonally and also for mixing green hues.  In addition to watercolour we may add texture with a few coloured pencils, ink or oil pastel.  Please bring your own materials and reference of a garden you would like to paint.  An information list will be available from Norden Farm.
