10:00 am State Botanical Garden of Georgia Gardenside room $75, $9 (materials fee for participants without supplies) Contact: Connie Cottingham 706-542-6150 Led by: Margaret Walsh Best, international watercolor artist.Margaret will lead you through her process of making a special plant the star of a painting, while at the same time giving it a background which makes it look at home in its landscape. In this one-day workshop participants will have the opportunity to learn about and paint plants at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. The day will begin with interesting information on each plant - on its history, anatomy, medicinal or culinary uses and maybe some folklore connected to it, along with its role in biodiversity. There will be plenty of demonstrations on techniques, accompanied by individual work with each participant. All skill levels welcome. News release: http://news.uga.edu/releases/article/state-botanical-garden-art-workshops-exhibits-spring2013/
