Summer Painting Venues
These sessions provide opportunities to meet up with other members of the club and paint together in the sunshine but be prepared for painting in all weathers. Hats with brims can sometimes be more useful than sunglasses.. You will need to arrange your own transport to the venue. Don't worry if its your first time - bring along just a few sketching materials or a small case of watercolours and a light-weight deck chair or stool and water to paint and have fun!
Members often have difficulty in locating others on arriving at the site. Where necessary a meeting point is indicated where early arrivals can wait until others arrive and perhaps leave a note for later arrivals.
