GROUPS
There are informal groups of members working in our studio most days of the week. Check the studio diary for contacts. Below there are details of the more formal groups with rather specific interests.
Outdoor sketching and painting
This group meets on Tuesday afternoons in the spring, summer and autumn at an outdoor location. In winter they usually take refuge in the studio.
Still life
The group meets weekly on Thursday evenings. A theme is usually agreed a week in advance and members bring suitable items to paint and draw. Themes have ranged from "Woodworking Tools" through "Spring" and "Blue" to "Afternoon Tea".
All techniques are welcome. There is lively Whatsapp group.
Portraits
Painting in oils and acrylics
Life drawing
Some say it's the ultimate drawing challenge: the human body. We have experienced professional models (so there's a small charge). The usual pattern for the evening is a few short poses followed, after a tea break, by one or two longer ones allowing development of the drawing. The group meets monthly on the fourth Wednesday. All techniques welcome.
