Painting this June!



It is still the middle of May, let's tune in to upcoming June warmer summer weather! With the change from mild rainy days to warmer weather, comes more art news from my studio!



I am thoroughly enjoying the Tuesday painting nights at the Sweet Art Studios and will continue until end of June. "Sweet Art Studio Night" is open to all acrylic painters, who want to work on their specific projects and want to have a forum to mingle with other painters. It is such a great opportunity to work, learn, observe and get inspired by others. I will be painting together with you, so if you hit a 'wall' or need some painting advise, help is on its way!! An informal, fun, creative atmosphere, come and register for " Sweet Art Studio Nights" by emailing me directly, marissa.sweet@rogers.com . June 7, 14,21 and 28th at 6:30-9:00p.m. Cost is $20.00/session.




If you are opting to push yourself out of the ordinary, check out Visual Arts Clarington on June 11-12 as I faciliate "ABSTRACTION WITHOUT FEAR". It is a workshop which will open creative boundaries and introduce you to acrylic mediums and explore non representational paintings inspired by your imagination. Likewise, if you are at the east side of Oshawa, I will be at The Painted Tree in Cobourg, on June 18th for a MIXED MEDIA one-day class! Visit, both http://www.vac.ca/ and http://www.thepaintedtree.ca/ to register.
