In the art workshop we draw and paint together. We use art books and nature photography to inspire us, and we make art on paper or on canvas, using watercolor paint, Acrylic paint, graphite pencil, charcoal, color pencil or pastel. The workshop is scheduled every 2 weeks on a Monday afternoon. After making art we have a drink and a snack to discuss the day.
