Upcoming
Our Next workshop will be:
Stuart Law Workshop on 20th September – Painting Lily Stems in watercolour. Lillies in Japanese Ukiyo-e, O Tanzaku
Stuart is heavily influenced by the Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints with their fading colours in the background, black ink outlines, sweeping, diagonal composition and long slim formats.
This workshop is suitable for beginners and the more experienced.
Stuart is a trained art teacher, living and working in Cornwall. It was during his degree that he discovered a love of Japanese art, delighting in the bold use of colour, the elegance and simplicity of line.
He will demonstrate his technique and during the morning you will draw from a real flower or trace an image provided. Use masking fluid to mask the drawing and then apply a wash. In the afternoon you will paint the flowers and leaves in watercolour, adding a fine liner outline to finish.
Stuart will provide Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily Stems) and traceable flower stem photocopies.
Details of what attendees need to bring will be sent to those who register for the workshop.

Review of our latest workshops,Talks & Events.
On Wednesday 16th July a small number of members visited the Kurt Jackson -Sea Flower Exhibition in St. Just.
The spacious, well-lit gallery provided an ideal environment for appreciating the large range of artwork on display, from small still lifes to impressive large-scale paintings.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Emma Wright and Judith Mears for undertaking the driving responsibilities on a particularly wet and unpleasant day. Despite challenging weather conditions, the event was still thoroughly enjoyed by all involved.
A little bit about our Society and our members…….
We are a group of enthusiastic artists who come together to take part in workshops, demonstrations and talks, as well as to exhibit and sell our works at our Annual Easter Exhibition. We also have three small groups who meet up to paint together, two groups at The Parish Room, Yealmpton and one group in The Revelstoke Room, The Village Hall, Noss Mayo.
The Society is committed to encouraging an interest in all genres of painting within the local community. We aim to include all abilities and would welcome new artists – both the young and the more mature, beginners and more experienced.
Why not become part of our Society, it’s only £15 to join? For more information on joining please visit our membership page or use our contact link below.
