Botanical Watercolor Workshop
with Dr. Janice N. Dean
DAA members and guests brought their watercolor palettes, pencils, paper, and enthusiasm to St. John's Episcopal Church on Saturday, September 20 from 9:00 - 2:00 and enjoyed learning about Honey's techniques. A successful botanical artist and former educator, Honey Dean is uniquely qualified to share her expertise with us. Honey provided the plant materials; participants brought their willingness to watch and learn!
The cost was $20 per member. All proceeds were donated back to DAA. Thank you, Honey!
