The third instalment of subs is due this month to take us up to the end of 2023. Please pay the £25 by bank transfer, cheque or cash, details of which Steve has emailed before. No cash by post please, only at a session or hand delivered to Steve’s address. If you paid the full £75 in January you don’t need to pay any more subs this year.

Here are ideas for this month, but you’re always welcome to come and paint anything you want to, whilst having a walk around and natter of course!

Wednesday 13th 7-9pm – Statues

Using any medium draw or paint a statue. A local one, one in the UK or anywhere in the world. It could be a person or people you admire, or if there isn’t one already then design your own.

There are many real animal sculptures like the lions in Trafalgar Square, the elephants in Bishops Square in London, or any equestrian statue. Or there are mythical creatures like the dragon boundary markers into the City of London.

Saturday 23rd 10am-3pm – Landscape with hay bales

Wherever you go in the UK there will be fields looking very scenic with haystacks or hay bales, either rectangular or round. Use any medium to draw an iconic scene with hay bales and include a combine harvester or tractor if you prefer drawing or painting machinery.

If you don’t fancy a landscape then paint people picking hops, apples or anything harvested, the choice is yours.
