Painting and Drawing in East Bristol

There is no tuition, but plenty of encouragement and exchange of ideas. The members are all aspirant or amateur artists, using media including watercolour, inks, pastel and pencil. Sometimes a member selects a reference for the meeting, and at other times members bring a project they are currently working on; the purpose of the group is to provide support, encouraging criticism and exploration of techniques, and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. From time to time members suggest visits to art exhibitions. Meetings are at a community association venue in Staple Hill, which has a fully equipped kitchen so members can make their own tea or coffee.
