Summer 2024 - Outdoor Painting and Drawing Days
Every week throughout the Summer Holidays I host outdoor days in different locations.
There is always a coffee shop involved and every location is chosen as a site of interest. This year, I have widened the scope to include venues further from Stafford. I have also made some events longer than others. There is no formal tuition; however I always have an idea of what I aim to achieve on the day. You are welcome to come for part of the time or spend the whole day. Better halves and grandchildren are encouraged to join in.
Below is the list for the summer. I will email every week as a reminder and to give any further information.
There are great sessions to keep your drawing and painting eye in, as well great social events.
If you are battling for transport, please contact me, there is always something that can be arranged to help.
There is no charge for these events. Your participation is at your own risk.
