Orangeville Art Group held two very successful landscape painting workshops featuring acclaimed realism painter, Barry McCarthy on Saturday, 18th and 25th October. The workshop topic was '2-Day Oil Painting Workshop with Barry McCarthy' Canadian Realism Painter. Barry demonstrated painting techniques, shared valuable information, gave valuable critiques - he covered a lot in the two consecutive weekends.

We appreciate the guidance and expertise you shared with our artists!!

Thank you Barry, for a day of learning and exploring painting, from the OAG and all who attended.
