Mixing the Autumn Palette Watercolor Class on Wed., Oct. 15 through Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. As the leaves ignite in fiery reds, golden yellows and rich siennas, Berkshire Botanical Garden becomes a living canvas — just waiting to be captured in paint. Join acclaimed artist Pat Hogan for a six-week immersion into the art of autumn, where you’ll learn to mix the season’s signature hues, explore the power of a limited palette, and master techniques like glazing with transparent pigments to bring glowing depth to your work. Each session invites you to slow down, observe, and draw inspiration from the garden’s ever-changing tapestry. Whether you’re new to painting or looking to deepen your skills, this class is a colorful celebration of nature’s most dramatic season.

Pat Hogan’s work is inspired by nature, particularly the Berkshires, the Maine Coast and the vanishing islands of the Chesapeake Bay.
