    Next Workshop

    LINE AND WASH WORKSHOP

    Saturday November the 2nd

     

    Colin Palmer who gave us a great demonstration of painting buildings in line and wash, back in June, has been booked to do a workshop at West Challow Village Hall  OX12 9TW on Saturday November 2nd from 10am to 3pm. He will provide watercolour paper and boards.

     

    Cost for WAG members £50, non-members £55. Please email Debby on debby@foxhome.plus.com if you would like to come or have any questions. 

    You will need your own brushes, water jar and watercolour paints plus a waterproof and lightproof fine pen such as the ones we used for Lin Kerr’s session. They do sell a suitable one in WHS but you need to ask as they are not with the main pen display. I think the one I bought there was a Uni pen fine line (water and fade proof O.4 ). Staedtler and Lumocolour do similar pens, but make sure it has a fine point.  You will need to bring your own lunch but tea and coffee supplied. There is a car park behind the hall access to right of hall.

     

    Inspiring workshops to expand knowledge and appreciation of the visual arts.

     

    Are the Workshops included in the membership fee?

    No they are not, the high quality professional artist running the workshops are paid a fee which is run by us on a breakeven basis. Therefore the charges will vary dependant on how many members sign up. Typically the charge for a day workshop will be between  £40 to £60

    When and where is the next Workshop

    We have several diverse and interesting Artisits lined up for the next series of Workshops, to be announced shortly.
