Every Thursday morning, a small group of around 10 people gets together to get creative with brushes and paper. This group isn’t focused on any one particular technique. The most important thing is to create something beautiful on paper. This can be achieved using a variety of techniques. Your own ideas are key to turning them into something beautiful, with the help of the instructor. This course is open to everyone. Would you like to give painting a go? Can I do it? Eric Martens teaches in a friendly manner and with plenty of patience. Everyone works in their own way. But social interaction is also very important.
