UPDATE: The Elyria Public Library System’s South Branch is buzzing with creativity as it hosts the latest session of its popular Watercolor Wednesdays class today, January 28, 2023. This monthly event invites guests of all ages to unleash their artistic potential through the delicate art of watercolor painting.
Led by Elizabeth Klanac, assistant librarian at the South Branch, the class aims to teach participants the fundamentals of watercolor techniques while fostering a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. “The thing about watercolor is that it’s one of the hardest mediums to master,” Klanac emphasized, noting that many attendees join with little to no prior experience.
Watercolor Wednesdays provide a unique opportunity for individuals to express their creativity and socialize with others. Participants are inspired to explore various themes, from seasonal landscapes to imaginative animal portraits, all while gaining invaluable skills. Klanac encourages attendees to approach their work with an open mind, stating, “There’s no wrong way to paint.”
The session also serves as a platform for community building, with many participants returning week after week. Klanac, who has a background in art, enjoys witnessing the camaraderie as guests share materials and support each other’s artistic journey. “I want them to think outside of the box,” she said, highlighting the importance of fearlessness in the creative process.
The class is designed for everyone, regardless of skill level. All materials are provided, but attendees are welcome to bring their own supplies to further personalize their experience. For those looking to tap into their creative side or simply enjoy a fun afternoon, Watercolor Wednesdays at the Elyria Public Library South Branch is the perfect avenue.
