This group is resuming meetings in October 2026 with a focus on different painting techniques and experimental painting.

An informal and relaxed painting group for both beginners and the more experienced artist. We aim to paint a different object each month or try a new painting technique; members are also welcome to bring their own choice of subject. There is no formal tuition, we learn from each other using different mediums including acrylics, watercolours and pastels; sometimes you might just want to try out a pencil sketch. So, whether you haven’t painted in years or never, come and have a go, everyone is welcome. We have a theme for each of our monthly meetings, sometimes reflecting on the time of the year including the seasons and UK festivals.

October 25:

Taking inspiration from a bountiful season, members painted autumn leaves and fruits.

September 2025:

Members chose their own topic this month including pet portrait painting using a new technique with pan pastels.

July 2025: Portrait painting using different mediums

June 2025: Members were invited to paint a subject of their choosing or this month's theme, "your favourite holiday destination".
