New sunset session in 2025!

Join Monticello's flower gardener and local artist, Debbie Donley, for a very special floral painting class in the Monticello Gardens! In a self-paced class designed for beginner and intermediate painters, students will receive instruction on botanical drawing and watercolors.

Situated among Monticello’s spectacular floral gardens, participants will be encouraged to take an in-depth look at an individual bloom and create a detailed painting. All materials will be supplied, but seasoned artists are welcome to bring their own tools and supplies.
