Please check the meetings page for dates of workshops and demonstrations.
We try to hold workshops regularly where each member attending can create their own painting following step by step instructions from an artist. The workshops can be half day or more usually, full day (10:00 am – 4:00 pm). Many members prefer workshops to demonstrations because they learn techniques more thoroughly, get individual attention for any problems and go home with a finished or almost finished work of art.
The photos below show the sort of thing we get up to.
Gwen Scott using watercolours, showed us her method of painting flowers and adding leaves afterwards with amazing effects:
