For all those creative types out there, Tuesday is the day to flex those artistic muscles.

Joyce Raimondo of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center in Springs will lead a painting workshop on Zoom on Tuesday at 4 p.m. for the East Hampton Library, with an emphasis on basic mixing techniques and how Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock used color to convey a sense of energy. The library can be contacted at 631-324-0222 for more information.

Eileen Obser, the author of "Three Rooms, Shared Bath: A Landlady in the Hamptons," is offering a spring writing workshop at her house on Cedar Street, starting on Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. and running for eight sessions. The focus is on memoir and personal essay. More information and registration are at 631-324-6325.
