Four Heads, entranced!

The Haywain

Four Heads, entranced!  A visit to see Constable’s Haywain by artists from our community was inspirational. Painting styles and fashions differ, but techniques and history are fascinating and inspirational. The range of work seen at our Fine Art Friday events (next one 4 September 7 -9pm) may not be as famous, but they sure will delight!  Come and grab a glass of wine, some nibbles and meet the artists!  No charge and free parking outside.

During my early years as a painter I attended many art classes where groups of adult painters would congregate in a sterile room or a cold village hall. Usually instructed to all paint the same subject, or ‘follow me’ classes led by
someone thinking that everyone there will be able to keep up with them, and produce satisfactory paintings in two or three hours. I wanted to something different to that, to teach artists to paint in their own style and technique.
