The purpose of doing one subject for a month is that practice makes perfect. As well\, it allows us to do a subject from life\, from a picture\, or from copying other artists’ work\, and to learn something new and to be familiar with that one subject after a month of exploring the different ways of doing it. \n\n\n\nThis Play Time is for members only. What a great incentive for you to join us! \n\n\n\nThe link is available on the Members’ only page or contact WGA@willowdaleartists.com URL:https://www.willowdaleartists.com/event/sketch-book-play-time-mon-fri/ LOCATION:Zoom meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240423T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240423T203000 DTSTAMP:20260419T030224 CREATED:20240125T035646Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240125T035647Z UID:4498-1713897000-1713904200@www.willowdaleartists.com SUMMARY:CRITIQUE NIGHT at McKenzie House DESCRIPTION:More details to follow URL:https://www.willowdaleartists.com/event/critique-night-at-mckenzie-house/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240430T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240430T203000 DTSTAMP:20260419T030224 CREATED:20240104T223332Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240104T223334Z UID:4434-1714501800-1714509000@www.willowdaleartists.com SUMMARY:AGM - Annual General Meeting DESCRIPTION:The AGM will be an in-person meeting and take place at the John McKenzie House\, 34 Parkview Ave.\, North York.

Willow charcoal will suit us perfectly as we draw together during our portrait workshop. A kneaded eraser will allow us to create light values\, giving our drawings structure. Working this way\, with dry mediums\, is almost like sculpting! The finer lines and subtle details can be found with charcoal pencils. Finally\, optional touches of soft pastel create sparkles of light\, making the highlights pop! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPaint along with amazing artist and teacher Nora MacPhail. She will demonstrate and we will do our best to repeat. Don’t worry – she will go in slow\, small steps\, until ultimately we’ve each produced our own masterpiece.
