Paint a loose, colorful, abstract octopus with us. We will be letting the water do much of the work this month. Learn to let go of control.

Join the Fertile Public Library for a relaxing afternoon of painting. We work on new projects and explore different techniques. Our event is suitable for all experience levels, and all materials will be provided. We will be learning to let go of control by painting a loose, colorful octopus in an abstract style. After it dries, we will go back in to add some more details to make our art pop.

If you have experience with watercolor painting and have your own supplies, you are more than welcome to bring them to use during the event. You don't have to paint what we are painting.

The project can take up to 2 hours to complete. Therefore, it is recommended that those wishing to attend arrive at or before 1:00 p.m. to ensure that there is enough time to complete the project.

AGE GROUP: | Young Adults | Teens (Ages 13-18) | Seniors | Adults |
