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.
