Painting for Pleasure What we do: The group has been working together for a number of years,although most terms we are lucky to welcome new members. We look forward to the friendly atmosphere at our Tuesday afternoon painting sessions. Many members love watercolour but we do try other mediums and experiment in new techniques. Because of the experience needed a beginner would probably feel this group is not for them, but anyone is welcome to visit to see us working. Over the last few years, as well as doing our own thing, we have chosen themes such as Dylan Thomas, with reference to his life, locations and writing. We have found that having a theme has encouraged creativity and investigation. Another term we chose the Ancient Churches of Gower which we exhibited at the Gower Show you can view some photos in the Album. Last year we had fun illustrating the costumes of the original Counties of Wales. Most people did not know they could vary both in colour and design. We welcome new members to the group but, due to Covid regulations, numbers have to be restricted. We have recently reopened the short waiting list and you are welcome to apply to join it. Meeting Area: Mumbles Day: Tuesday PM. |
