Welcome
Welcome all, and I am happy to invite you to look at the 2026 time table.
This year we are running a programme of 3 day short courses, in the beautiful surrounds of Burpham Village Hall and, as a one off, Chichester Harbour.
Each of these courses will be open to both the Art of Drawing and the Oil Painting groups, and each Short Course will have a theme. Each themed 3 Day Course will, as always, focus on personal one-to-one tuition, as well as group learning. There are opportunities for you to join these courses even if you would prefer to work on your own projects.
Both the Oil Painting and the Art of Drawing courses are long standing favourites, well known to many, and now there will be opportunity for these two groups to meet and work together.
Here is a list of the courses:
- Feb 2026 - Winter Trees & Winter Landscapes
- March 2026 - Portraits in Chiaroscuro
- May 2026 - Seascape, Coastlines & Beaches
- July 2026 - Plein Air
- September 2026 - Jungly Plants
- October 2026 - Very Still Life
- December 2026 - Printmaking
See later for further information.
We are looking forward to either welcoming you as a new student or to saying “hi, great to see you again!”
Courses 2026
The new short courses, each running for three days, will cover a theme and will also offer the opportunity to work on your own projects within the group setting. During the studio sessions there will as always be group discussions and appraisals of the work going on.
