Addison Art Guild Meeting and Oil Painting Demo by Frankie Johnson

The Addison Art Guild will feature guest artist, Frankie Johnson, on Thursday, October 12, 2107, at the Addison Village Hall, One Friendship Plaza, Addison, in Room 1301 at 7:30 pm.  Guests are welcome.  Frankie Johnson will do an oil demonstration, figurative piece, painting it shape by shape without any drawing. It is a fun way to do figurative painting and takes a little fear out of drawing people.
