Watercolour Group
On this page you will find basic information about the watercolour groups, where we meet and upcoming dates of sessions. We have set up two watercolour groups on different days and different locations - hopefully this will make the activity more accessible to people who have restrictions on certain days.
Coming soon! The group is new but as the months go by a 'Previous Watercolour Group Meetings' page will be created, which you can go to using the link at the bottom of this page, or in the menu above, you will find further details about past meetings that will help to give you a flavour of what we do in this group.

About The Group
The watercolour groups are newly established as many people expressed an interest in developing their skills in this media.
The groups welcome members with a range of interests in exploring watercolour, from more traditional landscapes, becoming looser in their work or exploring more experimental ideas.
The monthly meetings may combine a bit of 'homework' where members do some further research around a topic, technique or artist; maybe practice a technique so they can bring their successes and challenges to the group or continuing with a piece of work started in the last group meeting.
The group meetings will also give people chance to share their ideas and discoveries, to encourage learning from each other, and being inspired by the different approaches and interests of members in the group.
