To celebrate this we are having a SPECIAL COMPETITION (for members only) at the November Exhibition at Wanstead House. This will be judged by our Patron, Ken Howard, OBE, RA. with a special prize of £120!
Our Activities
All areas of the visual arts except photography and sculpture, including painting and drawing in watercolour, oils, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, pencil, ink, mixed media and printmaking. 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.
