Label your Artwork !


Hi there!

Please note, it’s important that we properly label our artwork before we bring it on Sunday September 21st between 9:30 to 10:30am at Etobicoke Civic Centre – 399 The West Mall. 
Please download and print the labels below. (if you have no printer, please write info by hand.) Then please stick a label on both sides

This is important so the volunteers who are hanging your work can identify it as yours. 


Thanks and see you this Sunday 9:30am to 10:30am.

THESE SESSIONS ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE


Just a reminder that this is open to everyone, no matter what your level of experience is. Since some may not have  tried  plein air painting before,  I am including a quick check list of things you need to bring, and things you might want to bring (for those who aren’t sure.)

RECOMMENDED TO BRING:
• Smaller pallet and limited selection of brushes
• Paper or sketchbook with backing if you don’t have an easel
• Container for water (and water to drink)
• Portable chair/stool
• Pencils and eraser for sketching
• Snacks if you get hungry easily!
