Our Activities
All areas of the visual arts except photography, including painting and drawing in watercolour, oils, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, pencil, ink and mixed media, as well as printmaking and sculpture. Our subjects include terrestrial and marine landscapes, portraits and life studies, still life and abstracts.
We aim to hold at least two exhibitions a year, one in Essex and one in London (see Guildhall Exhibition).
Look for details of our Activities, which include demonstrations by specialist artists, talks on art history, summer outings for sketching, informal painting sessions, a portrait group and workshops in selected disciplines.

We are a long-established (about one hundred and ten years) society of artists and art-lovers, currently about 170 strong. Our members range from total beginners to full-time professionals and include tutors and teachers of art, but most of our members are enthusiastic amateurs.
