SUMMER 2021
SUMMER OIL PAINTING WITH ASHLEY IS A SERIES OF NATURE-BASED PAINTING CLASSES IN MEAFORD
KINDA LIKE THE GROUP OF SEVEN FOR KIDS
Mornings feel magical as we ground into our easel space, close our eyes and notice the sounds of nature all around us. Together in our painting community, we will learn [real deal] painting techniques, colour theory, self-expression and all the fancy artsy things that will help unlock your child’s creative potential. Each day we will create an entirely new painting, starting fresh each morning. Students will be guided through specific painting compositions and bit by bit we will transform a blank canvas/board into beautiful expressions of landscape/nature inspired paintings. Art that lasts a lifetime. And yes! Your kids will create beautiful oil paintings in these classes!
Three day camps are awesome because it gives families total weekend and long weekend flexibility without missing a day of camp!

These painting classes require your cool kid to participate within in the flow and rhythm of the class. It requires concentration and a group commitment to work through the painting process. If you child prefers to run free all day [and hey I get that!], this isn’t the program for them. We will have a beautiful nutrition break daily when free play and unstructured time in nature is encouraged and nurtured to balance our art-making experience. Kids need to be comfortable in the great outdoors and dress for the weather.
