What we do
We meet, then go our own way to paint and come together again at 4 PM at the meeting point to share our work. If you happen to arrive late, just join any of us or meet us at the meeting point at 4 PM.
Bring any art medium you prefer. All levels of experience are welcome. Bring a folding chair or stool if you wish to paint closeups as many of the benches look out over fields.
