DIARY
  • AGM. SATURDAY 20th APRIL.  1.30 - 4.30. STONELEIGH VILLAGE HALL. CV8 3DG.  
All our current committee members have volunteered to remain on the committee. If you would like to join us, you will be welcome.  After the AGM members can enjoy chatting and eating cake! (You can bring a cake.)  
CRIT/DISCUSSION - bring a painting with you, something you would like other artist's advice and suggestions on.  // We will have an 'exchange' table for members to give away unwanted art materials, art books, art magazines etc.  (Or put a price on items if you want to sell them).  // And if we have time after eating cake - bring a sketch book and pencils/ charcoal or pens for a short fun session of drawing full length (clothed) figures. Always useful to 'pop' a person in a landscape.
MYTON HOSPICE - fund raising. If you have any unwanted gifts or suitable items for a tombola, bring these to the AGM. Anna Poynter does a brilliant job organising the tombola for Myton.  This year, so far, we have raised about £400.

Please visit Tom's website: www.tomshepherdart.co.uk or www.schoolofwatercolour.com  Tom is a very versatile artist so we have decided you can vote for the subject you would most like to paint. So far, we have had a vote for a seascape and a 'don't mind'. What would you like to paint? Majority vote will be suggested to Tom as the subject for the day. // E.g. Landscape, Birds, African Animals, Seascape, Still Life etc. They are all 'brilliant' and it will be a great day.  Contact Moyra Gibbs to book your place email: moyragibbs@gmail.com
