Spring 2026 OLLI Digital Catalog – under construction 

MIXED MEDIA BOTANICAL PAINTING WITH THE ART STUDIO (B361)

B – Fine Arts

Create a stunning botanical painting using watercolor, ink and metal leaf. A wildflower sketch will be provided to start things off, but artists are welcome to start from scratch and bring their own botanical inspiration. We will first watercolor our paintings. Then, use a dip pen and ink to incorporate details, and in the final session, artists will choose between gold, silver and copper for their final metal leaf element. Offered in partnership with The Art Studio, the arts education center of New Castle County’s Department of Community Services, located at 310 Kiamensi Road, Wilmington, DE 19804. Additional fee: Please note that this course requires an additional fee of $75. Participants receive a payment link from OLLI prior to the first class. There is also an additional $15 material fee due to the instructor at the first class.

This offering meets for a total of 3 session(s).
