The group is open to all abilities and complete beginners. So if you have ever wished to give it a go now is your chance!

The subjects of recent project meetings include:

Still life designs           Tonal studies in pencil, charcoal & watercolour

Watercolour landscapes        Figure drawing           Flower painting

Exploring pen and wash techniques     Starting out in pastels

'Some comments from members about their experience of our sessions:

"My knowledge of art goes back to my school days! At our Art Group I am enjoying learning from Geoff some new techniques and different mediums, in a relaxed atmosphere. I also gain more experience by looking at the work in progress by other members of the Group".

"Helpful guidance for all levels of skills, wide variety of subjects and techniques demonstrated above all a fun learning environment."

"As a complete beginner I really enjoy my time at Art Group. Geoff's demonstrations at the beginning of each session explaining the use of a particular medium is extremely helpful and the other, more experienced members of the group are very encouraging. I find it a very relaxing way to spend a couple of hours. "

'It is just lovely to have a couple of hours away from routine where you can be creative in a friendly and encouraging environment.'
