Imadon Street Painting Performance Group is pleased to host an artists’
workshop for all artists who are interested in learning about street painting prior to participating in
the August 1-3 Expressions in Chalk Festival in downtown London. This is a great opportunity for artists
who have never done street painting to learn some basic techniques and try painting with chalk pastels on the pavement.
What to expect:
Join Imadon chair Jan Smelser and artist Darryn Rae as they take you through the basic techniques of chalk painting.
You’ll learn everything from preparing your square to chalk painting techniques and proper overnight covering of your square.
You’ll get an opportunity to practice on the pavement in the south parking lot of St. Peter’s Basilica, on the east side of
the church. Chalk pastels will be provided to artists participating in this workshop. Lunch will be provided for participating artists.
Please pass this invitation along to any artists you know who are interested in learning more about street painting, especially
those who need to give it a try before signing up for the festival.
