Tarot Painting on glass

YOU CAN PAINT – For better Health -Mental Body Health
Why do Reverse Glass Painting?
Most of us enjoyed drawing, doodling or painting with colorful paints when we were small, before somebody seeded in our mind the idea that we are not too good at art. Perhaps we have tried a few more times before totally giving up and deciding that an artistic career is not for us in this lifetime. But by turning away from that gift of creative impulse we’ve abandoned the most fun and emotionally satisfying activity we as humans can experience. Mark making on a sheet of paper or laying a brush stroke across a canvas is so pleasant it is used as a therapy even if you don’t have any talent you’re willing to acknowledge. It is not only for fun, it is at its very core an activity of visual expression that is uplifting, balancing and healing to our emotional and, yes, physical being also. Countless studies have proved the benefits of art expressions, but for most people the inner fear that they can’t draw still holds them back.
THAT’S WHY we start our personal renaissance with Reverse Glass Painting. The transparency of the glass allows us to trace the lines of the drawing underneath and then color in with wonderful sparkles and bright paints. Glass is a very forgiving surface – you can erase, scratch or just wash the parts that you don’t like, you can even wash it all off and start again. The light that comes through the glass bounces off the paint particles so the colors look much brighter than when laid flat on a canvas. As you practice your hand copying the underlying drawing the confidence starts to build. First we plan how to build up layers on the glass. Then we practice applying markers and acrylic paint. Then we sparkle fun with glitter, luminescent paint and metal leaf applications. Students almost immediately venture into experimenting with their own ideas – it is easy to be confident when you know you can reverse a few steps back. The intermediate results are wonderfully satisfying at every step of the process. The final work is stunning!

Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra: Greatness Unveiled Concert
2024-11-22 20:00 - 22:00 | Martingrove Collegiate Institute, 50 Winterton Drive, Etobicoke
Sometimes ‘greatness’ is not immediately perceived. Each piece in this concert was initially met with skepticism or scorn but is now counted among the greatest music ever written. Beethoven’s “Eroica” initially had mixed reviews but he considered it his most important symphony, as would future generations. Soloist Erika Raum will prove Tchaikovsky was right about his great Violin Concerto, though it took many years for audiences to agree. It wasn’t until 30 years after “Pêcheurs de Perles” premiered, sadly long after Bizet’s death, that it was embraced. Matthew Jones, Music Director. Pre-concert chat from the stage at 7:40pm.Bizet: Overture from Les pêcheurs de perlesTchaikovsky: Violin ConcertoLudwig van Beethoven: “Eroica” Symphony
Tickets: Adult $30, Senior $25, Student $15. https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/etobicoke-philharmonic-orchestra-29601704531

I’ve always done this for fun. Why? Because I love seeing people get up there and challenge themselves and express themselves and have fun. That’s everything to me. It’s why I do it. The moment I forget why I’ll stop. I remember being terrified to try karaoke as a teenager and trying to work through the fear. I love the regulars and I love encouraging them. The moment it feels like work I’ll stop 🙂 Classic rock, pop, country, rock n roll, R&B, Showtunes, try something fun. Oh also the bar has cheap drinks, pool, and darts.
