I’ll be continuing to run my popular Art Club at Dungworth Village Hall on Thursdays monthly in 2025.

Art Club is a fantastic way to gently develop some new skills through regular practice and tuition from me – Jenny Coats – an artist and qualified teacher.

Each session stands alone with a different focus from still life to portraiture or landscapes. During the Spring term, we’ll be focusing on drawing using pencil and watercolour painting techniques.

• Thursday 30th Jan – Winter Foliage

• Thursday 27th Feb – Early Spring Flowers

• Thursday 27th Mar – Portraits

• Thursday 24th April – Travel journaling

You’ll learn how to really look and see what you are trying to draw, breaking objects down into simple shapes considering how negative space can help you draw more accurately. You’ll also learn to manipulate watercolour paints to create a range of effects including washes and wet on wet techniques. There will also be chance to learn about proportion as well as how to sketch quickly using pencil, pen and paints.

But don’t worry if that all sounds very fancy and technical! Art Club is also a chance to draw and paint in a relaxed environment with warm company. Even if you’ve not picked up a pencil in years, you’ll soon see your skills and confidence grow.

Each session is £9 and includes tea and homemade cake. You can ‘pay as you go’ or book all 4 sessions for £32.

Or send me a message for more information.

I really look forward to hearing from you!
