Last Weekend's Robert Brindley Workshop

Newton Art Group was extremely happy to host a two day Robert Brindley workshop recently..

 Each day began with a practical demonstration by Robert, who worked in both watercolour and oils.  Members then moved on to working on their own pieces, with constructive feedback from Robert and the other participants.

Summer's Over

As September rolls round and half the country trudges back to school, so too does Newton on Art Group embark on its Autumn activities - albeit more willingly than Year 11.

Thanks to Marianne for some revealing photos from last Monday's meeting.
