Painting out of doors
When the weather allows, the members on the weekly classes, also the Saturday class, work out of doors. Each venue allows us this opportunity, whether in Southport, Lydiate and Hightown. Artists enjoy this experience as it allows you to work directly from the subject, much better than relying on a photograph!
New monthly, second Sunday of the month, semi-abstraction to abstraction, or Wednesday afternoons
Developed by professional artists Roy Munday & Varsha, this class is dedicated solely to developing your personal journey in exploring the potential of working from semi-abstraction to full abstraction, over a period of monthly or weekly classes.
Ideally you will have some experience of doing art, and feel you’d like to explore the ultimate challenge of working semi-abstract to abstraction, which gives you complete freedom to develop your own personal style, where nothing is right, nothing is wrong.
