Wednesday, April 8, 2026 to Wednesday, April 29, 2026
Where: 

Berkshire Botanical Garden

Join Pat Hogan for a four-week, hands-on introduction to watercolor painting, perfect for beginners with no prior experience needed. This lively and supportive class will guide you through the fundamentals of watercolor, including design principles, essential tools, color mixing, and value. Through guided exercises, you’ll learn how to translate your ideas from palette to paper. By the end of the series, you’ll have your own completed compositions and a solid foundation to continue exploring watercolor on your own. There will be a $60 supplies fee collected on the first day of class.

Pat Hogan specializes in paintings inspired by nature. Recent works reflect her respect and love for our beautiful Berkshires, the mountains and sea coast of Maine and the vanishing islands of the Chesapeake Bay. She is passionate about watercolor and the illusions created through the transparency and luminescence of the medium. New work includes watercolor portraits, abstract mixed media, and encaustic paintings. Her paintings are in private collections in England, Sweden, and throughout the United States.
