Capture the beauty of Longwood’s Conservatory both inside and out with this plein air painting experience.

Begin the class online as instructor Diana Heitzman offers techniques and tips for painting en plein air. Then, enjoy exclusive early-morning Gardens access as you put your knowledge into practice during a four-hour, in-person painting experience inside and around the Conservatory with your choice of medium, easel, and tools. You’ll find plenty of inspiration in this spectacular setting amid the lush foliage and kaleidoscope of color inside the Conservatory—or, move outside to capture the striking architectural details of this gorgeous glasshouse. You’ll leave with a beautiful depiction of your favorite aspects of our Conservatory—painted by you!
