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

The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.

The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
