Wallop
Artists are a group of enthusiastic amateur artists who paint mainly in
watercolours and acrylics. There
are several members who work with pastels, as well as others who use
oils or sculpt.
Originally
formed as an informal club for artists in the Wallop villages, the
membership has now widened to draw from the surrounding areas, and
currently totals around 80 members of mixed abilities. Some
are enthusiastic beginners, while others are experienced and talented
professionals.
The
group holds regular all-day painting workshops on the last Monday of the
month – an opportunity for all members to get together, have a picnic
lunch and hopefully finish a masterpiece destined for display at the
Annual Exhibition in September!
Also
on these days some of our knowledgeable members take on the role of art
teachers and run informal drawing and painting classes for the less
experienced.
We
also host monthly demonstrations by visiting professional artists and,
weather permitting, paint outdoors at various locations during the
summer months.
At
intervals during the year Wallop Artists also run all-day workshops
which are open to all members. These
are led by experienced visiting artists and are very well attended.
We
are always keen to welcome new members to our happy fold. You
don’t have to be a budding Van Gogh ... just keen to get together with
like-minded people and enjoy painting or sculpting. You
are very welcome to visit our painting workshops. If
you would like to know more, please don’t hesitate to contact Lindsay
