Join us for a guided watercolor painting session at the Meadows Center—where art meets nature! Experience the beauty of Spring Lake through the medium of watercolor.

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.

Reserve your spot online at: https://forms.office.com/r/wdx1frweJf. Please note that your spot in this workshop is officially reserved when you receive your payment confirmation from the Meadows Center booking office.

NOTE: This workshop has a 2-guest minimum and will be capped at 10 guests. You will be notified if the minimum number of guests has not been reached. Registration closes 2 days prior to the workshop date. If registration has closed, please contact us at (512) 245-7540 to check availability.


Cancellation Policy:
If you would like to reschedule or cancel for a refund, we require five business days' notice. If, for any reason, we must cancel the experience (due to bad weather, etc.), you will be given the opportunity to reschedule or receive a full refund. Refunds will be applied to the credit card that was used for payment. If you are unable to attend due to extenuating circumstances, Meadows Center staff will evaluate each case to determine if an opportunity to reschedule is available.
