Want to spend a lovely day painting flowers in mixed media?

There are a couple of spaces on Anna's one-day workshop on Weds 3rd June, 10-4 (£65) , and it couldn't be easier to grab one - maybe even bring a friend?

You don't need any kit - everything will be provided for you, all you need to bring is your lunch! Check out some of the gorgeous work from previous attendees in the photos.

Jurassic Discovery River project update!

After a cracking workshop/plein air drawing session down by Axmouth Harbour today, we're now getting ready to hang the exhibition in Seaton Tramway next week, so.....

BRING US YOUR ARTWORKS! (please)

This is a community exhibition funded by the National Lottery and coordinated by Seaton Jurassic, and absolutely anyone can enter work to be displayed. You don't need to have been on any of the workshops to join in.

Simply bring your artwork (unframed/unmounted is absolutely fine) to: Kerry at Jurassic Discovery on the Underfleet, Seaton (drop off during normal opening hours), or Anna and Alex at Umborne Bridge Studio, Colyton, before Monday 27th April. We'll be in the studio Tuesday (9.30 - 3.30), Weds (11-2), Thurs (12 noon-8.30pm) and Fri (9.30-2)

Evening course alert!

Hi, it's Anna here. From 23rd April I'm running a four week course - Painting for Relaxation and Calm and there are a few spaces left if you fancy joining me in the studio for a super-chilled out, fun painting class.

Thursdays, 6pm-8.30pm, 23/30 April and 7/14 May.

We'll be completing a mini art project each week, all materials provided and plenty of biscuits and tea too. This class is perfect for absolute beginners and improvers too. Price for the four weeks is £95 with everything you will need included. Free parking right outside the door too.

This course a rare beast as we don't run a lot of evening sessions at the studio, but if you would like to join Anna Brewster Art for four weeks of laid-back, enjoyable painting and drawing then this one's for you.

What to expect: each week will have a different mini-project that we'll embark on, with gentle guidance and help, and each one will be suitable for absolute beginners or folks who have tried painting before - all are welcome. AND there are biscuits and tea, as always.

For examples of the type of project we'll be doing, why not have a look at Anna's Art Club videos? They're all here on YouTube. Example photos are from previous Art Club sessions and the Relaxation and Calm course will be very similar to this style of working.

Join us for FREE workshops with Jurassic Discovery, Seaton

We're delighted to share details of a set of FREE workshops that we're running in collaboration with iconic local venue, Seaton Tramway/Jurassic Discovery. Thanks to a successful lottery bid, these four workshops and the community exhibition that will follow are free to all and you can book in to as many as you like here

So what's it all about?

Well, we're going to be exploring the River Axe, from where it joins our little River Coly all the way down to the sea. With two workshops at Jurassic Discovery with seating, under cover, and two workshops out and about, we (Alex and Anna) will be on hand to support and guide participants to make artwork about the river, the wildlife, and best of all - we'll supply all the kit. So with coloured pencils, paint and all the paper on hand, all you have to do is make a picture.

What happens next?

Our community exhibition will begin May Bank Holiday weekend and will be displayed in the main hall at Seaton Tramway where anyone can visit. We're looking forward to seeing loads of artwork and we're really excited about how many people are going to get involved - why not join us?

Dates:
12th March 10-12:30 at Jurassic Discovery
26th March 10-12.30 at Jurassic Discovery
30th March 10-12.30 at Seaton Wetlands
20th April 10-12.30 at Axmouth Harbour
