Plein Air painters will set up around the library grounds and younger folks and non-painters will attend a guided fall tree painting in our meeting room.

We will welcome in the fall colors with a morning of painting.  This is a intergenerational event for ages 12 and up featuring two FALL COLORS PAINTING options.

  • For experienced artists, you can enjoy the library grounds for plein air painting with your own materials. 
  • For those will little or no experience, you will be joining us in our meeting room on the lower level for a guided fall color painting lesson. No experience or special skills needed.  Anyone can do it. Bring your parents and grandparents to paint with you for a family event. This is a paint and sip event.  Refreshments provided.

**Option 1 - Plein Air participants: Soak in the natural light, air, colors and textures around you as you paint in the open air (plein air) of the library garden or surrounding areas. The trees and bushes radiate beautiful colors in the fall.  You have three hours - 10:30-1:30 pm. What to bring: Paints, substrate, easel, stool, water, sunscreen, and a hat. Dress for the weather. Registration is required. 

**Option 2 - Paint and Sip: Ages 12 and up can join us in the meeting room for a guided painting session.  Work with your parents and grandparents to paint a tree with colors of the fall.  All skill levels are welcome and no experience in art is necessary; you will see how easy and fun it is using simple methods to create a work of art.  Refreshments and all supplies will be provided. This program will only last one hour - 10:30-11:30 am.
