Take a guided walk through Cassiobury Peace Garden and the Nature Reserve, led by Andrew Lalchan (a local photographer), as we explore late spring. Depending on the weather, there may be dragonflies & damselflies. This walk offers opportunities to photograph nature, and Andrew will be on hand to offer advice. There should be plenty of wildlife and bluebells in mid-spring! As it's likely to be muddy, strong footwear is needed. Bring your mobile phone or DSLR camera with a zoom/macro/wide-angle lens. We will meet at the water drinking fountain near the tennis courts in the park. There is also free car parking in the park; follow the instructions on the signs. If you are coming from Watford Metropolitan tube station, it's a short walk to the park (5 - 10 minutes). Suitable for beginners and advanced photographers alike. Andrew - https://www.instagram.com/alalchan/ Watford Photography - https://www.instagram.com/watfordphotography/ A full refund will be issued if the cancellation is due to weather.

We have a life model in a **single pose for three hours**. Usually **the same pose is repeated the following week so that you can give six hours to your work,** remember to book the same position for both weeks. Our studio is purpose built and well equipped with easels, drawing boards, clips and so on. We sell materials at reasonable prices so if you forget anything we should be able to help you out. We have professional lighting for the models and and full spectrum lights for the studio to give you a good experience. We break for 5 minutes for the model every 25 minutes and then for twenty minutes at 11.30am to have a cup of coffee and a biscuit (small charge). Our studio has a light and friendly atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, come and paint with us! We have a wonderful community of artists who join us each week. ### **Zoom** It is also possible to attend this session on Zoom, [have a look here](https://www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/zoom-sessions/) if you are not familiar with Zoom and to understand our process. £15 – £25 for a single three hour session.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show.
