The Painting for Pleasure Group are putting on a show of work on Tuesday 15th November at the morning coffee meeting in the Baptist Church in a bid to extend a welcome to new members.
We are very fortunate in having quite a number of members in the group who have a good experience of painting in watercolour, acrylics, gouache and oils, and who are only too happy to share their skills with members of the group who have never painted before. Our members say that they enjoy improving their skills and have pleasure in sharing their talents.
Friendly group, good conversation, advise given when requested  plus tea and biscuits.   A good way to spend a Thursday morning from 10-12  @ The United Reform Church, Northway, Maghull. £2.00 a session. Come and join us
