We are a group of enthusiastic painters, informal and friendly.

We aim enjoy a couple of hours art activity with a group of like-minded people, and hopefully to pick up a few tips to try at home. Members of the group use watercolour, pencil drawing, pastels and other art materials.

Art 2 has created a beginner's section with a dedicated helper to assist people completely new to painting. Help will be provided for drawing and setting out. Then advice can be given on choosing paint, paper, brushes and other materials.

We choose a theme for each session and produce something of our own choice based on that theme. If you do not want to follow the theme you can choose any subject of interest to you. Occasionally we look at ways to help us develop particular skills and techniques. Members of the group are asked to suggest subjects or techniques to learn or practice, all suggestions are included in our programme. Most people are painting with watercolours although anyone is welcome to come along and enjoy painting or drawing in their own style.
