It is so exciting for me to be able to post about all sorts of upcoming Zoom and in person (but socially distant and outside) workshops and demonstrations. I've been teaching a bit over the past few months over Zoom and I'll be honest, that human interaction has been a real pick me up. If you need a little of that or if you want to get out into the fresh air for some drawing sessions, hopefully there is something here to lift you up! Below are some offerings grouped by venue: The Leighton Art Centre, Alberta Printmakers and Inglewood Art Supplies. I keep adding new classes to my main page as they are finalized so this blog post might get out of date - always check there first to see what is on tap in the coming weeks. ![]() The Leighton Art Centre: Plein Air Sketching 1 Day Workshops July 18th (sold out), August 22nd, September 12th, 2020 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Document your travels with creative flair!
