The lessons are free however you will need to pay the normal hall entry fee of $5 which covers hall hire and afternoon tea. To attend you must be a member. You need to supply your own materials and you must contact Gwen on 9524 5291 before you come along the first time.

Workshops

One day workshops 9am to 4pm are held several times a year, generally at the Port Hacking Community Hall, 184 Gannons Road South, Caringbah (almost to the southern end). Watch for information on this site and in the bi-monthly newsletter. Get there a little before 9am to get a good spot and have time to set up. Cost is $50 members, $60 non-members. (If you are a non-member sometimes it is cheaper for you to become a member!)

Life Classes 1pm to 4pm

Life Classes are held on some of the 5th Wednesdays in the month when they occur during the year. Professional models are hired and the cost is $12 members, $15 non-members. Poses start at 30 seconds or 2 minutes and build up to 20-30 minutes to improve your drawing skills. Work in whatever medium you like. A common choice is charcoal on large sheets of cheap paper such as butchers' paper, but pen and wash, watercolour etc are all used. Members of other art societies are very welcome, in fact, encouraged to attend.

Paint-a-thon Art Workshop 9am to 4pm

The society holds an annual Paint-a-thon in October or November. This activity is always well attended. Well known, sought after tutors hold lessons in each genre over the two day period. Watch for information on this site and in the bi-monthly newsletter.

Critiques

Periodically a well respected artist is brought in to critique members' artwork. The cost is $5 for members. This is a great opportunity to learn, as you see how your work, as well as that of others, can be improved. Watch for information on this site and in the bi-monthly newsletter.
