Paint colourful summer garden landscapes while exploring value, composition, and design. Step-by-step guidance and feedback will be given to support artists of all levels.

Par Nair uses a beautiful shade of pink as the background for her paintings of the views of the outdoor spaces around her childhood home in Kerala, India. The pink peaks through her brush strokes and brings a warm glow to her lush landscapes, capturing her warm feelings about the place. Experiment with creating your own landscapes on unique colours of paper and see how the colour of the background affects the feeling of the scene. When you’re done, decorate a window frame to see your view through!

Join our Gallery Animateurs for free 30-minute guided tours of the 2026 Summer Exhibitions, What holds us together and Sketching the Past. This program is funded by Canada Summer Jobs and the Varley-McKay Art Foundation of Markham.
