27th March 2026 – this workshop was led by Janet who brought in a lot of ideas, materials and examples that inspired members to have a go at some abstract painting. It was interesting to see the effects of using different medium in one painting.
6th September 2024 – In this workshop, Annie gave a super talk about her ebb and flow project. Members had a go at creating their own little watercolour paintings.
9th August 2024 – this workshop, led by Janet, is a continuation of the theme of ‘Abstraction’ during August. Janet brought many photos, artwork, tools and explained her process. Members had an enjoyable morning creating an abstracted landscape using watercolour paint.
24th May 2024 – Following on from Dominic Vince’s illustrated talk on the life and work of Nicolas De Stael, members were inspired to try abstract ideas with many using a palette knife rather than brushes.
On Friday 11th February, our secretary Janet Gladhill guided us through a very interesting morning. She provided paintings in a variety of mediums for us to choose from, along with books on the subject to help with different mixed media ideas. Janet brought along some mark-making tools for us to try out: oil pastels, store cards, water spray bottles, cling film, bubble wrap, twigs, ink and pens, just to name a few. Once again all members enjoyed the morning.
