By Guest Writer | February 4, 2017

Since 1992 Watertown resident, Fred M. Grandinetti, has been the producer, writer and host of the award winning cable access series Drawing With Fred, the producer said. The show’s format has remained pretty constant over the years. It begins with a drawing lesson followed by an animated cartoon featuring the object of instruction.
