Painting Sessions
Mondays 14:00 - 16:00
Painting sessions are run to allow the artists to work in an environment with other like minded people, although there is no actual teaching, you will be surrounded by artists who will help you and answer any questions you have. Everyone is very friendly and it is a very social as well as a creative environment so dont hesitate to ask any questions or just have a chat.
​
Depending on what media you would like to try, you must bring this with you. The club does have some equipment but you are required to bring the media you would like to use. Water is available for watercolours but we do discourage the use of solvent based media due to the enclosed environment.
​
With regards to the subject you would like to paint, this is also up to you, some members bring photographs or magazine or book cuttings, or if you would like to paint or draw something more three dimensional then bring that along with you ie. Flowers, vases, object d'art.
Life Drawing Sessions
Mondays 19:30 - 21:30
Come along for life drawing in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere with a professional model. Two taster sessions are available for non-members at £5 each session to help you decide if you would like to join. We ask you to become a member for any further sessions. Each session then costs £7.50 which is only payable if you attend.
The sessions last 2 hours with a 15-minute tea break. We start with some quick warm-up poses of 2 to 5 minutes and then move on to longer poses of 10 to 40 minutes for the rest of the session.
The sessions are untutored, and art materials are not supplied. We have chairs, desks, and easels for you to use.
We try to alternate between female and male models each week where possible.
We look forward to meeting you.
