Art and Design Classes at UW Botanic Gardens

August 29, 2011 by webmaster Leave a Comment


Beginning Botanical Watercolor Class

Instructor: Kathleen McKeehen, Botanical Artist and Instructor
Learn the basics of classical botanical watercolor painting, which will include techniques in measurement, drawing, and understanding how light reveals form, along with practice in color mixing.  The application of controlled washes and dry-brush technique will contribute further, producing an image that is three-dimensional, accurate, and aesthetically appealing–the goal of botanical painting–and equally effective in painting other subjects realistically.  Beginners are welcome, and students with previous instruction can take on new subjects under supervision.  A list of supplies will be provided with registration.

5-part class:  9/28 – 10/26 from 7 – 9:30 pm
Fee: $170 Early Bird Discount; $190 after September 16
Register online: http://depts.washington.edu/uwbg

Douglas Classroom, Center for Urban Horticulture
University of Washington Botanical Gardens
3501 NE 41st Street
Seattle, WA 98105


Landscape Design Series

Design your own landscape guided by Nancy Tom, a licensed, bonded and insured Environmental Horticulturist. See her web site for projects and planting ideas: downtoearthgardens.com.

In six weeks we will learn how to: develop a site analysis, measure, site a house on a plan, draw to scale, design workable hardscaping, consider color and texture, choose plants that are suitable for your soil, microclimate and home, lighting, drainage, trellises and arbor.

This is a six week series, with lectures and time to work in-class.
September 8-27, 7-9:30 pm. Classes are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Fee: $175 Early Bird Discount; $190 after September 1, 2011

Plein Air Field Sketching

Instructor:  Suzanne Ferris
Everyone can learn from what exists in nature and apply these lessons to their own garden designs, travel sketchbooks or works of art. All skill levels are welcome.

The class will start inside drawing simple cones, cylinders, and spheres and getting used to handling the materials then move outside to discover these same shapes in trees and shrubs. We will be field sketching in sumi and walnut ink as well as soft graphite.  The instructor will demonstrate how to draw abstract shapes rather than specific specimens in the landscape and translate these shapes into a formal composition where “value veils” help create depth on the paper.  We will return to the classroom to discuss one and two point perspective, point of view, and the process of seeing by mark making. A list of supplies will be provided with registration.

Saturday September 24, 10 am – 5 pm
Fee: $75 Early Bird Discount; $85 after September 12

UW Botanic Gardens Hosts Aquatic Weed Symposium

June 28, 2011 by webmaster Leave a Comment

Managing Aquatic Weeds: Challenges and Opportunities
When: Wednesday July 13, 9am – 3:30 pm
Where: Graham Visitors Center, Washington Park Arboretum
Cost with Walking Tour: $30; pre-registration required
Cost with Kayak Tour: $55l pre-registration required
Box lunch available when you register by July 10

UW Botanic Gardens (UWBG) presents this 1-day symposium on the science and management of aquatic weeds.

In 2009, UWBG was awarded a 5-year Department of Ecology grant for the control of Garden Loosestrife, a class B noxious weed and mandated for control by the King County Weed Board. The full program will consist of both indoor and outdoor sessions, with a box lunch provided. Morning sessions will include a keynote address by Steve Manning, founder and President of Invasive Plant Control, Inc., Katie Messick, King County Noxious Weed Specialist; and, a joint presentation by UWBG and Seattle Parks Department on their Garden Loosestrife eradication programs – observations and challenges. The afternoon session will be devoted to guided tours. Class participants will either be taking a kayak tour around the lagoons or a walking tour through the waterfront trail marshlands. Focus of these tours will be our primary target, Garden Loosestrife, although other aquatic weeds and their control will also be discussed.

Designed for professional audiences, this symposium is open to everyone interested in aquatic weeds and their control.

To register use www.uwbotanicgardens.org
For more information call Jean Robins at 206-685-8033.
