Friday 22 September, 2pm to 4pm
Plein air painter, Tom Marsh ARSMA AROI, will share his preferred setup for painting on location and will show his painting process including blocking in and painting the light. He will work from one or two marine plein air paintings.
Saturday 23 September, 2pm to 4pm
Duncan Palmar RSMA will paint a beach scene, aided by an oil sketch and photographic reference.
Duncan says about his work, "Working in oils from sketches and photographs I try to capture light, texture and atmosphere in my landscapes and coastal scenes. I also focus on the small details, for example, giving the effect of damp seaweed on a harbour wall or reflections of clouds on wet sand."
Thursday 28 September, 11am to 1pm
Felicity Starr will paint live in the gallery.
Felicity says about her work, "I am largely a self taught artist with my best teacher being the great outdoors. Nature is always showing me new ways to appreciate and observe life which in turn I try to document. My work tries to demonstrate the inspiring connection and response to my surroundings. I strive to create realistic paintings which celebrate life and excite the soul without embellishing the subject. My goal is for people to feel good when looking at my paintings."
Friday 29 September, 11am to 1pm
Roger Dellar ARSMA PS RI ROI will demonstrate alla prima painting techniques, relating to boats in a marine environment, including reflections and light effects.
Friday 29 September, 2pm to 4pm

Saturday 30 September, 2pm to 4pm
