Art for Pleasure

Leaders: Susan Jackson & Avril Parsons

The art group get together every Monday afternoon from 14h00 until 16h00 during term time.  The sessions are held at the Centre de Loisirs (La Ruche) Eymet.

The group is aimed at interested people with varying skills and abilities.  Our focus is to enjoy Art together, but also improve and learn new techniques from each other.

This year we will again have more space as we will have the use of two rooms.  If you want to create your own Art in an informal space, but be with others, then we have room for this.

If you wish to learn and share information on Art, then there are always members who are willing to help and discuss your projects.

Visiting/Guest Artists
This year we will again be hoping to attract guest Artists who can share with us their various skills and techniques.

Informal Workshops
We will be encouraging group members to give short demonstrations / or talks about exciting techniques during the year.

Previous Projects

Blue Eymet 2023/24

We were Inspired by an article in the Support All Artists (SAA) magazine of May 2023, where a UK Art club had set themselves a project of painting their version of ‘Sunflowers’ by Van Gogh.  Rather than everyone doing their own version of the whole picture they split it up among them, showing a multitude of painting styles and mediums.

We then found, and received permission to use, a photograph of Central Eymet with the Blue flower streamers that originated from the Felibree in 2022.  It was divided into 12 rectangles and shared between the interested Art Group members during the final classes in June 2023.

The final image was put together, framed and is now available on show at ACFAA events and occasionally at the Centre de Loisirs during lessons on Monday & Tuesdays.
