Painting on Mondays at Barnoldswick Library - February 2016

Bookings are now being taken at Barnoldswick Library for Monday afternoon Painting classes in February, these take place from 1-3pm in the upstairs meeting room. This month the Monday classes start on the 1st February with a mixed media painting of Poppies in a contemporary style. This is followed by a line and wash of winter trees that will help with observational skills. The 15th is a traditional flower portrait of Snowdrops.
