We have held the last workshops of the year with two ’Taster Days’ and one two day workshop on Egg tempera painting, all at Hadspen Village Hall, near Bruton.
In October we spent a ‘Taster Day’ exploring and trying out ‘Gouache’ paints with Kate Cochrane; an artist well known for her impressionistic, textural paintings of woods, trees and waterfalls, which was followed the next day, with Su Elsden sharing her skills in soft pastels with us and generously bringing a kaleidoscope of colours for us to use. Sally Ridout also brought oil pastels to experiment with for those unfamiliar with them.

In November we were very happy to have a much appreciated and fully booked two day workshop with James Lynch on Egg tempera painting. James is well known as a painter of English landscapes and skies in egg tempera; often from an aerial viewpoint, as he is also an experienced paraglider.
