Come along to our meetups to improve your art in a relaxed and social atmosphere, and under the guidance of a professional instructor. Complete beginners to experienced artists all welcome.

Our 2 hour meetups are held in a different location each time, usually outdoors.

Bring your own materials which can be anything from pencils or pastels, to watercolour or oils.

If you are a complete beginner all you need to start are a couple of good drawing pencils, a rubber, and a drawing pad.

Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced artists. The instructor is there to help everyone.

The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

Join the Facebook Group here to share your art and enjoy the art of other locals.

Title or Location: Clovelly
I visited the North Devon Coast a couple of years ago and was mesmerized by the turquoise colour of the sea. Clovelly in particular seemed to capture the essence of this coastline. I walked out onto the harbour wall and took several photos. From these I chose one as my subject to paint

Title or Location: City Night Abstract Scene 2
Last month I painted my first 16 x 20 inches watercolor abstract. Now I have painted what I hope is a complimentary artwork. Same size and same theme.I generated a ?reference? image, transferred it to watercolor paper using graphite pencil, and then painted it. Both were prepared on cold pressed Arches paper using Grumbacher Academy paints. They are now displayed in my art room above my computer.I hope you like it!

Title or Location: Moose
The gorgeous Moose, my mantrailing instructor's dog. Drawn as a thank you for all his support and for trailing my dogs for me when I was unable to do so myself due to my cancer diagnosis.I started teaching myself to draw in April 2024 as art therapy was suggested by my medical team to aid my recovery.

Title or Location: "Montana Ranch".
The watercolour is of a group of Hereford cattle grazing the grasses of the high plains in Montana with the foothills of the Rockies visible in the distance. I tried to keep my style loose by using a large brush and holding it higher up. I also worked without my glasses on. W&N tube paints were used on 140lb cold pressed paper.

Title or Location: King of St. Thomas
Saw this big fella sitting like he owned the island on top a boulder in St Thomas. Snapped a pic of him and just had to paint him in all his regality.
