If you thought your Saturday mornings were only good for extra shut-eye and bottomless brunches, think again. Latta University Historic Park is offering a reason to appreciate the day in a whole new light—a watercolor painting class right in the midst of spring's full bloom.
Set for May 31, this outdoor art session is helmed by instructor Rick Bennett and promises to let your creativity bask under the morning sun. It's an inclusive affair, geared towards artists and art newbies alike, aged 12 and up. What's the deal, you ask? Two hours of plein air painting, a chaser of natural beauty, and you get to keep whatever masterpiece your hands conjure. And guess what, they'll even throw in the art supplies. Registration's no afterthought though—so get on it beforehand.
The official parks and recreation announcement details the logistics: be at Latta University Historic Park on that Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. The cost isn't exorbitant either, just $30—a small price to pay for the blend of art, nature, and serenity. "Come for the art, stay for the nature and leave with your original masterpiece!" as per the City of Raleigh's announcement.
If you're looking to try something different this weekend, there's a painting event at Latta on May 31. You can enjoy the blooming flowers and even take home your artwork. Mark your calendar—it's a chance to enjoy some springtime creativity.
