We do not have a tutor but learn from each other – building confidence and talent at our own individual pace. You can find a few examples of our work in the online gallery
Some of our members have been painting for many years and have a wealth of advice to offer; others are newer to the paintbrush but all are enthusiastic and friendly. We put on an annual exhibition of our work each year which is very well attended and has had excellent local reviews.
Painting outings are arranged during the summer – with beautiful beaches, gardens and landscapes available we are spoilt for choice. If you would like to join our group, please drop by or use the contact form below.

- Easter Holiday
The winter term has flown by in a flurry of gales, icy blasts and downpours, and the Easter break has arrived along with British Summer Time, though, not yet summer temperatures. The group held its AGM on the last session, along with a Macmillan Coffee Morning where we raised £248.
The first meeting after the break will be on April 16th when some members will be engaged in a Soft Pastels Workshop.
There is nothing more lovely than a walk through bluebell woodlands in Springtime. Sunlight filtering through trees onto masses of hazy purple-blue flowers remains a lasting inspiration for artists. In this watercolour, I have attempted to capture something of the atmosphere of a dappled bluebell woodland.
- Weather
Torrential rain, gales, snow, frost and ice, total lack of sunshine for days on end; we have had the lot already this year. Notwithstanding that this has, unfortunately kept a few of us away from our Thursday art sessions, it has been an inspiration for some atmospheric landscapes.
This is a winter scene from the rear of the house we lived in for 35 years at the very south west of Ellon. I have painted several scenes around there.
We meet in the Upper Room at the Kirk Centre every Thursday in term time from 10.30 to 1.30
