Art Club at Dungworth Village Hall will continue into Spring 2026 with both the Wednesday and Thursday dates monthly. The Wednesday dates tend to be a bit quieter so are perfect if you prefer a smaller group session. Both sessions in a month will cover the same focus and teaching. Whilst you are welcome to attend both if you wish, it will be a repeat.
Art Club is a fantastic way to gently develop some new skills through regular practice and tuition from me – Jenny Coats – an artist and qualified teacher.
Each session stands alone with a different focus from still life to portraiture or landscapes. During the Spring term, we’ll be focusing on drawing using pencil and pen and watercolour painting techniques.
Wednesday 7th or Thursday 22nd January – Portraits
Wednesday 4th and Thursday 12th February – Birds
Wednesday 4th and Thursday 19th March – Cityscapes
Thursday 23rd April – Spring Flowers
(I am unable to run a Wednesday session in April due to the Easter holidays.)
You’ll learn how to really look and see what you are trying to draw, breaking objects down into simple shapes considering how negative space can help you draw more accurately. You’ll also learn to manipulate watercolour paints to create a range of effects including washes and wet on wet techniques. There will also be chance to learn about proportion as well as how to sketch quickly using pencil, pen and paints.
But don’t worry if that all sounds very fancy and technical! Art Club is also a chance to draw and paint in a relaxed environment with warm company. Even if you’ve not picked up a pencil in years, you’ll soon see your skills and confidence grow.
Each session is £9 and includes tea and homemade cake. You can ‘pay as you go’ or book all 4 sessions for £32.
