Paint a cactus at Exotic Plants

Have you ever tried to paint a cactus? Here’s your chance – not to paint the plant itself, but capture its form, color and beauty on canvas.

Exotic Plants is hosting a cactus-themed Paint Night at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26.

With their angular growth, cacti and succulents naturally look sculptural. With their geometric forms, they also make great subjects for still-life painting.

Learn how to capture a cactus or succulent on canvas during this fun event. Tickets include canvas and paint plus snacks and drinks. Tickets are $35 for one person, $55 for two. Seating is limited.

To register, call Exotic Plants at 916-922-4769.

Exotic Plants also is hosting a month-long succulents sale. Buy two succulent plants, get one free, through the end of February.

Exotic Plants is located at 1525 Fulton Ave., Sacramento. For more details, email exoticplantsltd@gmail.net or visit
