Demonstration - Painting on silk with Tessa Spanton
Tessa sketches and paints outdoors to absorb something of the changing light, the sounds and scents and the experience of the passing of time in that place.
A common thread running through her work is an interest in the patterns within the composition as well as a love of colour.
Her flower paintings on silk bring together her love of colour, textiles and growing plants.
We are delighted to welcome Tessa to CAG for our monthly demonstration on Wednesday 22nd November at 7.30pm at the URC in Caterham Valley.

Pastels Workshop - Rick Holmes - now sold out
With Rick we will explore and to get know pastels, improving your mark making. During this workshop you will do a series of at least three paintings, each one getting progressively more challenging.
This is a fantastic opportunity to hone your skills (at whatever level), learning from an established and skilled artist.
