A monthly meet up for watercolour painters and enthusiasts – open for all levels.

Explore the materials, techniques and colour theory to develop your work and meet other watercolourists in this relaxed social session.

Each session a different subject will be provided, or bring a painting you are already working on or a subject you have always wanted to paint.

Basic materials provided.

Come along to each session to experiment with a different theme – or pick and choose the ones you want to focus on.

About the artist – Justine Moss (she/her)

I am an artist, educator and collector of wonderful things. I use drawing and watercolour to make sensitive, detailed or implicative studies of subjects including clothes, nature and the figure. I am currently completing a PhD on drawing garments in film. I run a thriving life-drawing group and lead community art workshops for adults.

I have lived in East Anglia for fifteen years and worked in art education across the region, from Southend to Great Yarmouth.
