The event will begin with a brief outdoor discussion about the landscape of Spring Lake from an artist’s perspective. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to paint the view of Spring Lake as seen from Sycamore Point. The painting session will be held indoors, and light refreshments will be provided.
All skill levels are welcome! Supplies and snacks will be provided. Although watercolor is generally a mess-free medium, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and clothes that can get dirty.
