Painting the Tulip Tree Flower

Wednesday and Friday, May 18 and 20, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
12610 Eveland Road, Ridgely, MD

With its majestic stature and stunning yellow-and-orange blossoms, the tulip poplar has been designated Adkins Arboretum’s signature tree and its 2011 Native Tree of the Year. In this two-day workshop, artist Lee D’Zmura will focus on the study and creation of botanical illustrations of this stately member of the magnolia family. Instruction will include watercolor techniques to capture the tulip flower’s unique characteristics. Some watercolor experience is required; a materials list will be provided. Bring a sack lunch. Limited to 10 participants.

This is a two-session series. Programs will be held May 18 and 20.

Fee: $125 members, $140 general public
