Zoom Out – 150 Years Richmond Hill 

Now on display on the front lawn of the Mill Pond Gallery!

Zooming out of the ordinary and into 150 years Richmond Hill!
We asked our members to paint a leaf shaped board to celebrate this milestone anniversary. Collectively their artwork makes up our RHGA summer installation that is now ready for you to enjoy on the front lawn of the Mill Pond Gallery. Many thanks to all our members who painted a leaf and who volunteered to seal, varnish and install this artwork. And a special thank you to Ryan and NewMakeIt who helped us with cutting our leaf shapes and fabricating our rebar stems!

Life drawing or figure drawing has always been the backbone of any artistic training and  is the ultimate way to improve your hand to eye coordination. These are non-instructional sessions from a nude or clothed model. Poses will  range from short to long and participants bring their own materials. What can be better then creating in the company of your fellow artists and making art inspired by human form!
