Artists and artist-wannabes are invited to take part in this fun evening of art and conversation. Participants will be provided with canvases, paints and brushes, and led to create their own personal masterpieces with help from local artists.

Expect to get creative, both with your canvas and as we seek your perspective about what makes Frontenac, Frontenac. Your insight will help to inform our Tourism Brand Expansion project, currently underway.

Materials:
Stools and easels can be provided if needed.  Bring paints (oils, acrylics or watercolours), pencils, charcoal or inks, boards (small), canvases or paper (with tape and backing board) and a lidded jar for water or medium. Oil painters need linseed oil but no solvent. A minimum of white, 2 yellows, 2 reds, and 2 blues help get you started in colours.  I also add transparent earth colours in yellow, red, and blue/black. A lidded palette like a cookie tin is useful with paper palette paper inside. Contact Nancy for any additional consultation on materials. ​
