  The invites go out by email and are weather and location dependent. We are starting to paint in the same area for 2-3 weeks in a  row to get a feel for how different light changes from one day to another.
  We have some projects in the area yet to be announced for the Acton Prospect Park and the Norval Maud Montgomery Centre. The Credit Valley Artisans is also increasing their interest in Plein air and we are running some courses this month - to be ready to paint outdoors. :)
  I will keep you posted.If you would like to join my e-list please email me at

  Looking forward to warmer weather - Thursday is to be 15oC!
  Yours in art, Sheila

  I use the gesso boards from the art stores or canvas, actually I really prefer the feel of a canvas.
  That is when I paint in oil, but of course with pastels I love using the sanded paper. ...  moreNo I have never used them infact I had to google them to see them!
