Dear Members,
The February workshop – ‘Paint Venice like Turner’ in watercolour with Iain Grant was extremely popular and enjoyed by all that attended.  Here are some of the results and comments we received.  “Brilliant tuition from Ian Grant”

A very good tutorial”, “Everything explained so well!”, “Lovely patient man”,
” A very enjoyable day”

Painting a Spring Landscape and mixing greens with Michael Hill    

In March ‘Painting a Spring Landscape and mixing greens with Michael Hill’ was both a challenge and a joy. 

Michael arrived thoroughly prepared, bringing many examples of his work and a variety of images from which we could choose to paint. Greens are something many try to avoid but Michael always makes it look easy and as you can see from the results; with his guidance the attendees produced some beautiful work.

 We don’t have a workshop in April as the committee are all working hard to put the Spring Exhibition together.

Members will have received the paperwork from
Lin Forrester, and some have already returned their entry forms.   Deadline for entries – 31st March.

We remain non-selective and would like to encourage all our members to take part
however new to painting or nervous of exhibiting.
If you have any questions, just ask.

Handing in day is on Friday 18th April 4.30pm to 5.30pm.  If you are unable to drop off your artwork at this time, you may organise for someone else to deliver it on your behalf.

The Private View is on Saturday 19th April from 10am to 12 noon.

I will be sending invitations to past purchasers who left their email address.
I will also be sending two Private View invites to members to give to friends, family etc. Each invite admits two people.

So, get your paintings finished and entry forms in.

We look forward to seeing you there.
