Month of Shows

Fall seems to be the best time to visit art shows, exhibits and studio tours.  It seems after summer, the world is ready to receive the beauty found in art (3D and 2D) and inside artists' workshops.  Fall is also the time people are ready to take classes, to study a new craft, to be mesmerized by something new.

At SweetArt Studio it has been busy with weekend classes and Thursday Open studio.  My regular classes have started again at Pickering and Bowmanville locations.  Just last week, I had a terrific 1-day Mixed Media workshop, where 3 tenacious and inspired students took the reigns in building their own mixed media pieces.  It was a lot of fun, that I even forgot to take pictures!

My next class is scheduled for November 16 - Painting Skies in Acrylic and November 17 - Fall Landscapes in Acrylic.  Classes are starting to fill in, so register now, to reserve your spot. You can email me, at Marissa.sweet@rogers.com.

In Port Perry, at Meta4 Contemporary Craft Gallery,  I will be teaching Mixed Media and Photo Collage for 2 -days on November 9-10.  It will be a more intensive class, since it is a two day, where students can work on their paintings, learn different techniques and take more time to practise.  To register, visit the Meta 4 website.  http://www.meta4gallery.ca/courseCalendar/brochure.pdf

I love Mixed Media, it is such a great way to infuse found objects, photographs, other painting mediums, charcoal, inks, graphite into an acrylic work.  Hope to see you in one of my courses, or perhaps at one of the many art shows in the Durham Area!!
