A Palette of Peonies

Event: A Palette of Peonies

Artist Instructor: Annelein Beukenkamp

Date & Time: Saturday, May 31 10AM-4PM

Cost: $80

Join Burlington artist Annelein Beukenkamp on Saturday May 31, 2025 from 10-4 for a full day painting peonies in the nursery gardens. This class is designed for participants with some previous watercolor experience. We will explore numerous watercolor techniques including negative painting, value control, edges, composition and many others. Painting outside “en plein air” is a great way to observe directly from nature to capture blossoms and blooms in a direct and colorful manner. Annelein will demonstrate her technique in the morning and offer extensive personal attention throughout the day that will end with a group discussion of works created. Participants will need to bring their own supplies and pack a lunch. A suggested supply list will be provided upon registration. Rain date Sunday June 1.

Please email Annelein to register: beukwin@gmail.com 

Class is limited to 12 participants.
