FREE PAINTING DEMONSTRATION - SEE A MASTER IN ACTION
Our feature artist, Alan Collins, will be demonstrating his watercolour painting skills at Artspace Gallery this afternoon. From 1.30pm, you can watch the master of watercolours at work and hear some of his many funny anecdotes experienced whilst painting outdoors. In between each painting stage, you can enjoy his exhibition which features over 40 new paintings featuring views of the Hutt Valley, Eastbourne Wellington and England. If you might be considering Alan to do a painting especially for you, this would be a great time to talk to him about what you have in mind. he'd be delighted to chat with you.
