During the summer months we had some wonderful workshops. In May, Madeline Morrow taught a group to paint glass as a subject in oils (see below). All attendees managed this which was wonderful – an amazing achievement, as glass is not an easy subject. In June, Louise Bougourd returned to the Club with a two-day workshop in Mixed Media. She inspired us to move away from the traditional photo-like painting and create our own perception of a landscape.

Ian Sedge was back in July with his ink and watercolour two-day course. Such a different style of painting, yet again and great fun. Roger Dellar finished off the summer in August with his unique and wonderful style of oil painting. He held a two-day Plein Air painting workshop in oils.

Lucinda Stephens will continue her alternate Tuesday mornings in the autumn. She has quite rightly taken the summer off. She gives us her time for free, which is so generous, and she is so much appreciated.

Social Art has been a great success every Thursday afternoon. This gives an opportunity for members to drop in and join fellow members who are working on their own creations. Everyone is welcome.

I have arranged a busy autumn of classes for all, and I hope there is something for everyone.
