COVID- 19 UPDATE with regards our Meetings, Events, Workshops and Social Days.

We’ve been monitoring and sought advice with regards to COVID-19 from governing bodies.

Our gatherings are small and well below the limits for events requiring cancellation. With that being said, there’s no denying that recent COVID-19 developments are having a direct impact on our global and local community. The health and wellbeing of our members is our highest priority. Being mindful of hygiene is imperative, and we will ensure that any space we use is sanitised and cleaned appropriately. Of course, each individual must be responsible for their safety and make their own decisions accordingly.

During this time, as a community, we have a responsibility to those that need us to remain operational. And, respect those who have decided not to attend events and workshops at this time.

If you have any flu-like symptoms, please seek advice and stay at home until you are well again!

Why come to our Casual Painting Group?

Painting watercolour gives you pleasure and great satisfaction, and as a group, it’s just a fun thing to do. You will enjoy learning from each other while sharing ideas and experiences. It is a very social morning and a way to chat about your work, find out what other activities are happening and learn from others while enjoying your own “zone”.

Come and try it, you’ll love it. It’s casual painting, so come when it suits or when you feel like a morning painting with others. Morning tea is a specialty!

It is also possible to arrange lessons by appointment.

While you are on our website why not take a looks at other workshops and classes we are running.

Art Education

A trained teacher with an extensive background in art education, Ross capably imparts his knowledge in a methodical, yet concise and positive manner, for all levels of development within the context of each workshop theme.  His workshop demonstrations are approached in logical steps and cover all aspects of necessary awareness when painting “en Plein air” or studio. Thoroughly explained elements, such as design, drawing, tone , colour possibilities,  technique and mood are all explored, along with the various subtleties and characteristics associated with a specific area or subject.  When on location, he will teach analytical awareness- pointing out unifying shapes and  relationships that will enable a painting to work as a design!

Ross usually supports his well constructed teaching with a set of relevant and valued teaching notes, to reinforce an informative and enjoyable week.
