Essex Art Center Spring Classes Begin Soon
North Andover Resident and Artist Mary Ann McCarthy McArdle will be offering both drawing and watercolor painting classes.

Spring is here and it’s time to let those creative juices flow!
There are a few art classes I’m teaching this spring starting in late April and early May at the Essex Art Center. I will be offering The Joy of Watercolor and Basic Drawing. This might be a good time to dust off those pencils, brushes and paints and get back into it!
Check out all the offerings from clay to digital art, and more. Kids classes too. To view our brochure and register visit their website: www.essexartcenter.org by next week in order to reserve your spot.
