Wednesday 10th 7-9pm – Frida Kahlo
Draw or paint a picture inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (July 1907-July 1954). Her colourful paintings are full of colour but often filled with angst as she suffered life-long injuries from polio as a child and a terrible bus crash when she was 18.
Draw or paint Frida Kahlo’s portrait on her own or with her husband Diego Rivera. Study one of her paintings in depth or use her colourful style to paint a picture of your own subject.
Here are a few websites to read up about Frida Kahlo and to see her pictures… www.museofridakahlo.org.mx

Saturday 27th AFTER 10am – 3pm – ‘Do your own thing’ at Chalk Church
We return to our summer venue at St.Mary’s Church in Chalk. Please arrive AFTER 10am so we don’t block the lane to the church before the gates open.
The church and ‘Monet’ bridge are popular subjects to paint, but you don’t have to.
Many of us have painted these several times, so instead start any project for our Open Day (Saturday 23rd November), continue or start a Frida Kahlo inspired picture or bring paintings you want to finish.
If it’s raining we still meet at the church as there’s an indoor room in the barn with tables and chairs for us to use. There’s a large car park, toilet, and tea, coffee and biscuits as usual.
Please bring along a folding chair or stool if you intend to paint outside and a packed lunch too. If you can only make the morning or afternoon, please come along and join us for a couple of hours. We pack up before 3pm as the church warden locks the gates then.
The church doesn’t charge us to use the barn or gardens, so any donations to the Church Fund are appreciated, thank you.
