About this Event
Join me for an intimate and relaxing evening at the beautiful La Grange Country Inn in Wakefield, where you’ll learn the basics of mandala dot painting and create your own “Autumn Light” tealight candle holder.
Inspired by the changing landscape of the Gatineau Hills in autumn, this palette captures the soft, golden light of fall illuminating trees in every stage of transformation. From soft greens and brilliant yellows to glowing oranges and rich reds, this palette invites us to slow down and settle in as the days grow shorter and winter approaches.
No experience is necessary. Both verbal and written step-by-step instructions will be provided, and pre-drawn guidelines will make it easy for everyone to create a beautiful piece of art.
Come unwind, get creative, and enjoy a cozy evening of painting, connection, and autumn-inspired mindfulness.
