| The Group of Seven are among the greatest landscape painters in Canadian art history. Tom Thomson, J. E. H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston and Franklin Carmichael met at a design firm in Toronto. In 1913, they were joined by A. Y. (Alexander Young) Jackson and Lawren Harris. They disbanded in 1931 and went on to have independent careers.
In this informative and fun workshop, you will experiment with heavy bodied acrylic paints and explore the energetic and vigorous brushstrokes of Tom Thomson and The Group of Seven with renown instructor, Janet Beath.
