New Jersey Urban Sketchers at Montclair Iris Garden Friday, May 31, 2024
The Presby Memorial Iris Garden in Montclair is referred to as the "Rainbow on the Hill"....and that it is! With thousands of bearded irises in bloom, this is truly spectacular scene to capture in a sketchbook.
Join us for a day of sketching only available for a few weeks in the spring. Bring a stool and your brightest watercolors to get the best views and brightest colors onto your paper.
For more information about the gardens and driving directions, visit the web site: https://www.presbyirisgardens.org
Sketching Tip: the iris looks like a complicated flower but it is really easy to draw once you know that there are only 6 petals on every flower. Three are curved down and three are curved up. The little "beards" run along the midline of the downward curved petals. That's it! Add a green stem and some unopened buds and you've done it!
