We would like to wish all our Members a very happy, healthy and creative 2020.
Our next event is on Friday, 10 January (usual time) and is a talk about Wartime artists by Sonia Bacchus who has been to us twice previously; the last time she demonstrated cartoons. She is a very talented lady and there are photos of this evening under the Demo Eve Pictures heading on the website.
The second event is on Friday, 17 January and is a Freestyle Evening. Please let us know if you would like to come along as there is a maximum of 14 places.
The life drawing group starts again on Monday, 13 January and details of the models booked are also on the website.
Early in the new year we will be researching and arranging the painting out day programme. Please let us know if you have any ideas which would work, bearing in mind that we must have parking and toilet facilities.
Very best wishes from,
The Committee
