The Comforting Canvas: Easy Autumn Landscape Painting Workshop

Join us for a painting workshop with Saloni Sharma! Spend some time getting creative and enjoy an afternoon of painting and artistic exploration.

In this relaxing painting workshop, participants will create their own autumn landscape using acrylic paints. We will explore warm fall colours, simple painting techniques, and ways to create trees, leaves, and a beautiful autumn sky. This workshop is beginner-friendly, so no previous painting experience is needed. It is suitable for ages 12 and up.

Workshops are recommended for people ages 12 and over. Children under 12 years old are welcome with parent/guardian supervision. Please get a ticket for each person (incl. all children).

The workshop is admission by donation! Suggested $20 - $30 to support facilitator fees and supplies.

This program is graciously funded by the City of Calgary and Calgary Foundation.
