Here is your opportunity to learn some basics about watercolor with a fantastic instructor from the Indianapolis Art Center. Explore techniques, learn practical tips, and try your hand at a work to take home!

Have you touched watercolor since you had a set of Prang in grade school? Maybe you've been secretly wanting to learn, but are not sure where to begin? These classes are being offered in partnership with the Indianapolis Art Center. Supplies will be provided and participants will leave with their own work, and some skills and plans to continue learning on their own. 

In the meanwhile, consider this list It's Never Too Late (Or Too Early) to Be an Artist (And Yes, You Can Do It!) or Learning to Paint with Watercolors.

Made possible by The Indianapolis Foundation Library Fund through a grant to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.

About the branch

What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
