Outdoor Painting 2019
This years programme
We are outdoors now with a new outdoor painting programme.
Please come and join us - no need to book, bring your stuff, a chair, a hat and some water to drink.
We meet on Thursday mornings starting at 10.00 and finish with lunch - usually in a nearby pub. There is no charge for taking part - just turn up. We don't paint if the weather is inclement but surprisingly enough for this country, that doesn't happen very often!
Please check your emails the night before for any changes to the venue.
23rd May, 30th May and 6th June
Bromham Mill.
Park in the mill car park. The mill is open daily from 10am to 4pm. Lunch at Bromham Mill or The Swan in Bromham.

There is an additional opportunity to sketch and paint outdoors in the Luton Hoo Estate Walled Garden. This is not part of our organised programme. It seems that individual artists can turn up on the day but groups must pre-book. If you wish to organise a small group and pre-book or require further information, please contact Vivien Tyler (info@lhwg.org.uk).
