What we do
We are a small group of ladies all with different skill levels in drawing and painting.  We decide as a group what we would like to paint or draw and meet up the 3rd Thursday of every month. 

At our meetings we usually show  what we have drawn/painted and discuss our future outings/events.  There is a new subject every couple months which can be created in whatever media you would like to try.  In addition to this, we endeavour to go out on location to sketch - weather permitting! 

Additional challenges may be presented to our group and we also try and learn a new skill either shown by our fellow group member, reading recommended books or watching YouTube.

All abilities are welcome to join our Group as you draw/paint in your own time at home or  come together with other group members.
