MOTTISFONT SKETCHING IN SEPTEMBER

What a lovely September day for ten intrepid Adventurous Artists to discover the historic Mottisfont Abbey grounds.

Every artist picked a subject that appealed to them.

We rounded off a perfect afternoon in the courtyard - one to remember.

Thank you Helen for the location and taking photos.

ART AFTERNOON IN SEPTEMBER

A relaxing and creative afternoon in September and ...

... we were delighted to be joined by a new TAS member. 

 

. Two hours trying out a new idea, practicing new skill ...

... or continuing a piece of artwork.

It's a great way of making time for art without any distractions.

FOOD WORKSHOP EVENING IN AUGUST

We had a relaxed and practical evening drawing and painting a variety of food themed subjects in August.

The challenge was to observe the shapes, colours and textures and record them

using their preferred medium.

The results showed just how every artist sees things differently!

SUMMER SHOW AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH ELING

 

Thanks to Lauren Cheshire, Vicar of St Mary's Church Eling and her team, our 2026 Summer Show was held in the church for four days in August.

The success of the show was due to the hard work by our committee and members.

SALMON LEAP SKETCHING IN AUGUST

Ten of us had a wonderful time sketching along the walk from the Salmon Leap bridge over the River Test to Testwood Mill.

Capturing the flowing water was one of the afternoon's challenges.

Everyone tackled foliage in their own style too. 

 

The old water tower is a beautiful architectural feature of this grade 2 listed building. 

Afterwards we enjoyed a drink, sharing our work and chat at the Salmon Leap pub. What a lovely afternoon!
