SUMMARY:Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy!
DESCRIPTION:Learn to Paint with Stephen Purdy! \nMost of us enjoy the natural landscape\, and sometimes stand in awe of its beauty. \nJoin Stephen as he teaches and shares what he’s learned to help you make a landscape painting you can be proud of! \nThis class is based on the process of painting outdoors\, in which it is essential to develop a strong composition\, designate the appropriate values\, and make the colour sparkle with the life of the scene before your eyes. Outside\, you have a limited time to capture the scene as the light will change. Inside the studio\, this same efficiency will keep your painting fresh. \nThis class is for everyone. Beginner\, Intermediate or Expert. We can all learn from some constructive criticism. The class is structured with demonstrations of each stage of a painting\, followed by individual critiques of each stage of the students’ progress. If you are a little uncertain of your ability\, don’t be\, this class might be a little intense\, but that is because painting is really\, really\, really fun!!! \nDates: \n– Tuesdays\, from April 7th until May 26\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm \nRegistration Price: \n\nOne class: $30 + GST | Fees\n\nMore Information and Registration HERE!

SUMMARY:Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration!
DESCRIPTION:Emotions in Line & Colour: A Creative Exploration! \nJoin Route 22 Gallery and student art therapist\, Kimberly Cota\, for a unique session designed to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week. \nUsing the simple elements of line and color\, we will explore how emotions can take shape on the page. This is not about creating a “perfect” piece of art; it is about the movement\, the feeling\, and the process of self-expression. \nYou’ll also spend time as a group exploring the ways our individual expressions may overlap and create a shared visual language for the things we feel. \nThis is a zero-pressure\, supportive environment where the focus is on the experience rather than the finished product! \nDate: May 7\, 2026 \nTime: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM \nLocation: Route 22 Artist Collective Gallery \nPrice: FREE! \nOpen to all; no art background necessary! \nSupplies Provided \nMore information and registration HERE!
