Well, I'm not sure our work will be shown in the National Gallery, however we all learned how different our styles are whilst following the exact same instructions! Really enjoyed the serenity of painting today, it's very calming even though we still had some great banter. Tricia at 'It's Easel if you try' was a patient teacher.

Yesterday, we enjoyed a good trip to Nymans NT Gardens in Handcross. The rain didn't stop us and the sun even shone for a short while. After a quick tour we had refreshments and enjoyed some good banter as always. Thank you National Trust Nymans and our tour guides. The photos are a collection from some of the villagers attending. Do contact us if you'd like to try any of our activities and we are also looking for helpers on our trips and regular sessions. Email: [email protected]
