Pet Portrait Painting

Join us at the Olney Library to paint a portrait of your furry, feathery or scaly companion!

Join us for an Adult Summer Reading Challenge 2025 program! People of all levels of art experience are welcome. Beginners welcome! Step-by-step instructions and all supplies will be provided. Attendees should bring a close-up portrait of their pet printed on 8.5x11in paper. The portrait should fill as much of the paper as possible. If you do not have access to a printer at home, you can use the public printers at the library anytime leading up to the event. This is a Friends of the Library, Montgomery County, MD INC sponsored program.

Limited to 16 attendees. Registration is required.
