New Year.  This is a change from the sent out programme, and it will now be a get-together with either a discussion on paintings, exhibitions or art books brought in, 0r seen, by members.          

Unfortunately both myself and the planned model will be at a funeral today, but Tony Impey has stepped in and will be the model for this session. He will run the poses.

Find an artist that you really admire, and create a painting using them as inspiration.

Bring your paints and brushes to create a masterpiece. Paper will be supplied.

There will be a charge of £5.00 for this workshop and places are limited so please book in plenty of time (gillimpey@hotmail.co.uk)

This is a full day watercolour workshop with the popular Karen Lester. There will be a charge of £20 for this and please book early to avoid disappointment.

Landscape panting is always a favourite.  You might want to continue with techniques learnt in Karen Lester's workshop, or do your own thing.  Time is getting on and we need to be thinking about our annual exhibition!

Start an industrial landscape using charcoal.

Either complete your previous charcoal sketch in colour, or start another using any medium.

Workshop with Ruth Clayton of Farfield Mill.  Ruth has a history of popular tutor led workshops and is well known for her watercolour sea and waterfall paintings.  You will come away from her workshop with a completed painting.

Use your understanding of Ruth Clayton's techniques in order to make your own painting.

Sketch each other today.  Do 10 minute poses, standing, sitting, holding something or anything you can think of.
