SUMMARY:Sunflowers and Sunsets: Pick and Paint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a magical outdoor painting experience at Garden View Flowers in Grand Rapids. You will feel like you’ve been transported to Monet’s Garden. Enjoy picking a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to inspire you! This class goes until 9:00. After finishing creations\, guests are invited to linger in the garden for sunset viewing and photos. The sun usually sets around 9:15 this time of year. Each artist will pick and assemble their bouquet. Glass containers will be provided and you can take your arrangement home. We will then draw inspiration from our freshly picked flowers to create a series of small watercolors. We will guide you with instruction and inspiration while you create your mini masterpieces in this beautiful location. You are also welcome to bring a beverage of your choice and snacks. Since the outdoor space is covered\, the event will be held rain or shine\, with the exception of a cancellation for extreme weather. It is quite delightful to pick flowers in the rain:) If this is the case\, umbrellas will be provided. If cancellation is necessary\, you will receive a full refund. \n  \nAll supplies will be provided
