Section 2:    June 14, 15, 16 - Painting Bold Dark Subjects

    

Elaine’s work is included in the permanent collection of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh PA, The Highgrove Florilegium (created under the umbrella of the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation) and many private collections. In 2008 She was awarded a Silver Gilt medal by the Royal Horticulture Society. Elaine comes to us from Blakeney in the east of England.

            both sections 1 and 2.

            $300 to reserve your space

            Final payment due by February 15, 2012

Please note:  Because of the cost of international travel and requirement of a longer lead time, it is important that all registrations for this class be in by February 15, 2012.  If you cancel your registration after February 15, 2012 no fees will be refunded as the School will have committed to Elaine’s schedule and purchased her airline ticket.  If you cancel your reservation before February 15 a registration fee of $150 will be retained by the School.  If for any reason this class is cancelled, fees will be refunded in full.

What students had to say about Elaine Searle’s 2011 class:

“What an incredible privilege to take a class at The Minnesota Botanical school by the renowned Elaine Searle. Without having to go to London, right in our own back yard, ( I came from Florida to take it!) Elaine's depth of knowledge and her informative presentation was outstanding and fun.”

                                                     Betsy Cole

“As a newcomer to botanical art, I found the class encouraging and open.  Elaine, herself, was so inspiring and easy to relate to, her instruction was clear and her critique was very useful.  I think everyone should experience a workshop like this one.”

                                                    Karen Nelson

"I treasured the time spent in the Elaine Searle Master Class.  She gave me such honest and straightforward help while working with white flowers. Not an easy task."
