Julie King - demonstration of a landscape in watercolour
We look forward to an inspiring evening with Julie King as she demonstrates the art of landscape painting in watercolour. Known for her delicate handling of light and atmosphere, Julie will show how expressive washes and subtle colour can be used to capture the essence of a scene.
Whether you’re new to watercolour or looking to refine your approach, this promises to be an enjoyable and insightful demonstration.

Mark Fisher - acrylic workshop - booking needed.
Join us on for an exciting workshop with Mark Fisher, exploring the creative possibilities of a semi-abstract cityscape in acrylics. Mark will guide you through expressive techniques to capture structure, atmosphere, and movement, helping you loosen up your style while developing confident, contemporary compositions.
Bring a selection of acrylic paints, brushes, a palette knife, and a working surface (A3 or larger canvas, board, or primed mountcard), along with the usual essentials. Materials will also be available to purchase on the day.
A great opportunity to experiment, learn, and enjoy a stimulating day of painting.
