December Meeting
Christmas Social & Exhibition
As Storm Darragh, played havoc around the country members braved the wind and rain to bring along their paintings for our final meeting of 2024 the Christmas Social and Exhibition.
With so many wonderful paintings on display in a variety of mediums - watercolour, graphite, acrylics, pen & ink and collage members had the hard task of voting for a painting from each of the five categories
After enjoying a buffet of savoury and sweet nibbles and getting the old grey cells working with a Christmas Quiz; members then had an even tougher choice of picking the overall winner
Congratulations and well done to all the category winners and to Annette Wakeling, voted the overall winner.

October Meeting
Members workshop & demonstration
Demonstration by Jane Masters
'Pet Portrait' in Watercolour
Jane began by explaining she was going to be working on a 100 per. cent cotton paper with a rough surface and had chosen watercolour paints that have a naturally granulating nature. From the basic line drawing and starting with the eyes, Jane brought the little French Bulldog to life all the while giving general advise and tips when working in watercolour.
Septembers Meeting
Members workshop
A puzzle afternoon, what am I painting? Everyone has a small piece of a famous painting and a A4 multi-medium board to paint on. Some painted in watercolour, acrylic, pastels - the choice was entirely their own and at the end of the afternoon all was revealed
