Get to Know Watercolor Pencils
Saturday, 5/2/2026, 9:30 to 3:30
Perfect for beginners with little art experience. Watercolor pencils combine the fluidity of watercolor with the control of colored pencils. Sets of watercolor pencils are small enough to pack into a crowded suitcase or carry-on bag for vacation sketching. We'll work on a variety of exercises that explore the properties of watercolor pencils. Bring several landscape photos as source material and a sack lunch. Pay a $5 Material Fee TO THE INSTRUCTOR, or bring your own supplies. See www.spruillarts.org for information about the instructor and a list of supplies you will need to bring to class.

Anyone Can Learn to Paint A Floral
Saturday, 6/6/2026, 9:30 to 3:30
Floral paintings started with the Dutch in the 1600s, continued though the Impressionist era and morphed into the modernistic paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe. Learn to create your best floral painting in your style using oils, acrylics, pastel or watercolors. We will focus on composition, point of view, color harmony, background colors, and color mixing. We'll use cut flowers I will provide or flowers you provide from your garden or a store. You may choose to depict flowers in a vase or a close-up of a few flowers. Whether your style is realistic, abstract or impressionistic, you will go home with a finished painting.
