Jane Keay, a well known local artist who exhibits in the Made in the Marches Gallery is the tutor of the Kington club

The classes take place on Thursday afternoons from 2-4pm at the Marches Gallery in Church Street.

Each term, Spring, Summer and Autumn, lasts ten weeks.

The cost per term is £130.00

The classes are for beginners and experienced painters

The Autumn term starts on Thursday 19th September

The classes are not prescriptive and everyone learn to paint or draw in whatever medium they like and whatever subject they like.

Tutorials on the elements of picture making such as composition, perspective, tone etc are given every week and members receive a file when they join into which they can store the hard copy for reference.

Twice a term Jane delivers a tutorial called The Story Behind the Painting in which the group looks at a particular work of art in detail, discovers what the artist's life was like and the historical context of the painting in order to get a deeper appreciation of a work of art.

 Members get a 10% discount card for local art suppliers.

 Members can make up any classes they may miss by going to any of the other clubs at any time, including rolling over a session to the following term if necessary to ensure they always get the number of classes they have paid for.

 All the details can be found on the website - www.villageartclubs.co.uk or anyone interested can phone Liz on 07938 563716 for more information.
