This will be a follow-on from the excellent demonstration by Mike Samson of Speed painting in Oils. His techniques could be adapted to other mediums, particularly acrylics, so don't be put off if you don't have oil paints. For members that weren't at that meeting don't forget that you are welcome to work on your own themes in your preferred medium..

All members and friends are invited to drop into the Fishslab Gallery between the 29th May and 4th of June to see the exciting new work by Barbara Drinkwater and Hywel Davies

These open air sessions were started last year and proved very popular so lets hope for some good weather. The first session will be on the 8th May in the grounds of Whitstable Castle. Just turn up at the location with your drawing or painting materials at 10am and stay for a couple of hours, or as long as you like. All the venues, except for Clowes Wood, are near toilet facilities. The dates are all shown in the Calendar of meetings section of the website. Hope to see you there.

The forms have now gone out to members inviting you all to take part in our annual exhibition at the Horsebridge. As always, we hope as many of you as possible enter something. This is the biggest opportunity for the Society to reach a large audience and demonstrate the talents of our members to the people of Whitstable and beyond. If you are not able to exhibit remember you can help in other ways, perhaps by helping with a stewarding session. If you are interested please talk to a committee member.
