Join us for a fun night of art!

Love that watercolor vibe but hesitant to dive into the world of watercolor painting? This class introduces an inexpensive, easy-to-learn alternative to abstract watercolors that’ll get you hooked! Your instructor will demonstrate the basic technique and several options for finishing pieces, then you’ll be free to play around with the media and press to bring your own visions to life. Participants typically make 3-5 pieces in this two hour class.
