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.

- New Term
Sessions restarted this Thursday, and it was good to get together again after an extended Christmas break. The bright winter sunshine and snowy landscape of the last few weeks will, hopefully, have inspired us all to new artistic endeavours.
I have painted lots of trees in the past, mainly winter scenes, and wondered what it would be like to try looking up through the trees, especially if you can see birds circling overhead, and this is the result. I am sure more will come, including night scenes with a hazy moon overhead, but probably no birds; I am no good at owls!
- And finally…….
This bright and beautiful kingfisher adorned the cover of our 2025 Calendar so missed out being featured in the monthly Calendar posts. He brings a splash of colour to a new year that, so far, has been nothing but extreme winter. When the blizzards subside and conditions allow, we will resume our Thursday morning sessions. The first one, planned for January 8th, has been cancelled; we hope to be able to meet on the 15th. Loads of inspiring winter landscapes out there at the moment if we can brave the temperatures.
We meet in the Upper Room at the Kirk Centre every Thursday in term time from 10.30 to 1.30
