Tucson Organic Gardeners Composting exhibit at the Gardens

PAINTING PLANTS WITH MANABU SAITO

Wednesdays, March 14, March 28, April 11, April 25, May 9, May 16

9 – 11 a.m.

Manabu Saito has recently become a full-time resident of Tucson so he is now able to devote more of his  time to painting all kinds of botanical subjects, including our local plants and flowers of the Sonoran Desert. Manabu’s illustrations have been published in National Geographic and Horticulture.  In 1972, Audubon featured eight of his cactus paintings, and later issues included his paintings of endangered American plants.

This demonstration is designed to help you improve your skills for painting plants and flowers, and at the same time to enjoy painting.  In these demonstrations you will be able to freely ask any questions about the materials and methods he uses in painting plants, as well as watch Manabu apply those techniques to his own work.

Artists are welcome to join Manabu and to receive critiques and tips as they work.
