Rather than offer a workshop for adults this summer, local artist Maureen Newton has decided to open the studio at Inspire for students. Students can drop by any afternoon (except Aug. 3-6) and work on their own painting and drawing projects with a little guidance on technique, colour theory and composition as needed from Maureen. Open Painting and Drawing Studio is open to any media…drawing with pencil or pastel and painting with acrylic, watercolour and oils. Students will need to bring their own materials and project ideas.

Tom’s artwork and comic art has been published in variety of magazines and publications and he has worked with several renowned comic book artists.
