What a great night! So many pieces of art in all genres and subject matter were on show for the annual Spring Trophy.
The well deserving winner this year was Dawn, in 2nd place was Lesley, closely followed by Steve and Sue. Well done everyone!
Members enjoyed a really interesting evening creating paintings based on a black and white photo taken by one of our members. It is always fascinating to see how everyone ends up with completely different artworks
Members met at Trimpley Village Hall along with a wide selection of musical instruments to draw . Some very impressive results!
Photos to follow
An enthusiastic gathering of members attended the meeting bringing along a variety of house plants to draw.

Our first meeting of the year was held at Trimpley Village Hall on Thursday 11th January 2024 and was well attended. Many of our members took up the challenge of doing a sketch per day throughout the coming year. A very tall order, but many have decided to have a go and a plethora of wonderful sketches, drawings and paintings is already emerging. The prompt list will be posted on our web site, FB page and on WhatsApp at the beginning of each month so lookout for that if you wish to have a go!
Our next meeting is on Thursday 25th 2024 and commences at 7.15pm at our usual venue at Trimpley Village Hall. Hope to see you there!
Our exhibition at St Georges Hall is approaching fast. Members will be taking their paintings to the Hall on Monday 3rd July to be put up. They will remain on display until 7th August. Forms and information have been sent to all members. So get painting!
On Thursday we were treated to an ink and wash demonstration by Clive. Using a non-permanent fine fibre tip pen and a water-brush Clive showed us how to create quick and dynamic sketches. We all had a go and really enjoyed the outcome. It is an excellent way to capture an image especially if you you are out and about and want to do something really quick. Many thanks Clive for an excellent evening.
This year’s Spring Trophy was held at Trimpley Village Hall on 27th April. As usual there was an interesting and eclectic mix of styles and media. Much to his delight Clive Betts won the competition with his seascape. Worthy runners-up were Lesley with her puffins and Dawn’s abstract landscape in joint second place. Well done all! Thanks go to Jennie for organising some light refreshments and to everyone who helped set-up the room and tidy away afterwards.
