Weekly Programme
2025
April 1st - Themed evening - 'Spring' Your choice of media and development inspired by the subject of Spring. Will it be daffodils, hellebores and cherry blossom, fresh greens and yellows in the
trees, new life, landscape or abstract? This is one of those evenings where it is lovely to see the variety of work produced by all of us.
April 8th - Wildlife - Red Squirrels. Peter Risley will be projecting his own photographs of these delightful creatures to inspire our drawing and painting.
April 15th - Life Study - Julie. Our model will be seated in a single pose for the two-hour session. If you want to paint, this gives you chance to complete your work. If you prefer to produce a set of quicker sketches, you can move around the model for different viewpoints. We intend to do a bit of set dressing with some background drapery and plants,etc.
April 22nd - 'Painting the Town' Following the success of our group Self Portraits in last year's exhibition, we have decided to produce work in a similar format with the subject being
'Ashton in Makerfield'. You will each be given a small canvas as before, on which you can use your own choice of style and media, applying paper or card to
the surface of the canvas if that works better for you. There will be a collection of pictures to help you get started on the night but, better still, give yourself more options by beginning straight away to decide what you would like to do. Choices could reflect buildings past or present, local history or industry, town or country areas, local characters and many more. You can take your work away to continue and there will be a final finishing session in June.
