Finding the artist inside you
Whether you are looking to find out if there is an artist lurking inside you, or you just want to have a bit of fun with a paint brush, Dawne offers private and open painting classes for adults and kids, families and friends.
Wiltse Creek Studio is located just minutes from Charleston Lake Provincial Park in the 1000 Islands region and ideally located for a full days adventure. Come paint in the morning before heading off for a picnic and swim. You can leave your canvas here until you are done playing if need be.
Never painted? Don't be afraid!
Our classes are instructed step-by-step with room for individual expression and combine the joy of painting mixed in with a little bit of teaching. Classes are offered in small groups so that everyone has some individual time for help.
What to wear!
We use high quality, student grade artist acrylic paint that is colourfast for 60 plus years. It does NOT come out of clothing, so please dress down. Aprons are available upon request.
What to bring?
All supplies are included in your fee. Bring a drink if you wish.
Where do I go?
In the summer, classes are held on the porch at Dawne's house next to the studio - come on up.
When it's too cold for for the porch we paint in the kitchen - the front door is via the porch.

Ask about pricing for birthday parties and other events.
Painting with the under 7 crowd
Generally by the time kids are 5 they can tackle a painting but may not have the ability to sit still for a long class. They tend to need more one on one and hands on help.
The best option for this is to come and do a Parent & Child or Grandparent & Child class. There are a few painting samples in a slideshow at the bottom of the page but we can always paint a favourite subject. Email for details.
