If so come along and join us at one of our meetings where you will find a friendly welcome.
Our members vary in skills and ability, ranging from beginners to accomplished artists. Their work covers the full range of subjects and media - oil, watercolour, pastel, etc. Some members are simply interested in art and artists and do not paint or draw.
This diversity is reflected in our programme of meetings and events which provide an opportunity to improve members' knowledge and skill, not only from demonstrations, workshops with tuition and advice and outside painting days, but also from each other.

Following Paolo’s demonstration those that want to try painting with acrylics will have a chance to put his advice into practice. They will need to have with them water colour paper, board or canvas, a few paints and brushes
Paolo is well-known to members both as a demonstrator and appraiser of their work. After five years at art college he began work as an illustrator and graphic designer for various advertising agencies.
To fulfill his passion for painting, Paolo became a freelance illustrator and fine artist.He produced illustrations for educational books and supplied galleries with his oil paintings.
His weekly work schedule would vary from working on a commercial illustration, painting a commissioned portrait or painting landscapes for an art dealer.
In 1997 he opened “Paolo Francis Gallery” in South Croydon and now teaches art to aspiring artists in three art classes.
