February 21st and 22nd

This weekend in the Romsey area there is an exhibition and an art work day to attend. The exhibition is at the Hillier Gardens with paintings by Ali Lindley and Daphne Ellman and finishes on Sunday. There is free admission to this exhibition. The other is Art at Work with Romsey Art Society  at the Gallery in Lee Lane. Admission is £1 and opening times are from 10am to 4pm. Both events are well worth a visit.


Our next meeting on February 25th is a demonstration by Catherine Dunn who will paint a horse's head in pastel. The meeting starts at 7-30 pm in the Three Score Club.

Saturday Workshops on Portraiture and Landscape painting in Acrylics


The two workshops held on Saturday 5th February were a great success. Di and Mary are excellent teachers and the results showed in the high standard of the paintings produced by the end of the day. The workshops were very well attended and seem a good replacement for the work evenings both as a social event and a learning experience. Our thanks are due to Di and Mary who obviously put much effort into preparation for the day (and to Claire who made the tea!) If any members feel they could run a workshop on their favoured medium or subject please contact Di - we cannot rely on the same people all the time! The next workshop will be held on Saturday 25th April.

Below are few pictures from the day:-
