Art Palette

Here are some images from the watercolour masterclass.

 

The Club has agreed to install a stair lift to the Art Studio over the summer; the plan is that it is ready for use in time for the start of the autumn term.

 

The Club met with the contractor recently and is hopeful that the stair lift will be installed on time. We know there are general shortages of materials and tradesman and so there is no guarantee on the timetable, but we are hopeful.

 

I am pleased that the Club has agreed to open the Art Studio for art group members to use from 10am to 5pm on Tuesdays until term starts again. Please bring your own materials, clear up afterward and, very importantly, turn off the air conditioning when you leave.

 

Enjoy painting and drawing over the summer months. Please email me examples of your work to: artgroup@roehamptonclub.co.uk so I can choose some examples for the next Recorder.
