About this event
We are a friendly online group making art alongside each other on Monday evenings from 7pm till 8.30pm. Adults of all skill levels are welcome. You just need some art materials and a willingness to have a go. Members have joined from the UK, America and Europe. Some come when they can, others attend regularly.
What we offer:
- A short drawing exercise to warm us up.
- A different theme each fortnight chosen by the group. You will be sent a link to a Pinterest board with images for inspiration.
- The opportunity to work on your own projects.
- Encouragement and inspiration to develop your creative style.
- Music to listen to while we make. I compile and share a weekly playlist from the groups requests.
- Opportunities to share your work and get feedback within the session and through the WhatsApp group.

"I could make art every night on my own, but I just don't. Knowing that we are meeting focuses my mind and I am engrossed for an hour and a half. Each week I now make at least two pieces of artwork, and I have met some great people and been inspired to try out new materials and styles."
Nicky, Regular Participant from Somerset.

Frequently asked questions
No, you come when you want to and just pay for the sessions you attend. The group runs during term time. The first session is £8 and is booked via Eventbrite. After that people pay the artist directly for a block of sessions which are used as they attend.
The group is open to adults of all abilities. I will send a link to a Pinterest board for each theme. This will show examples of different art styles and photos which can be used as a reference. People choose what they will do in the session and work at their own pace.
There are three blocks of art making. We start with a drawing exercise, then have two half-hour periods of making. In between these, and at the end, we show what we have made and get supportive feedback. We finish by deciding the next theme and people can suggest music for the playlist.
You can use whatever materials you want. In the past people have painted, drawn, collaged, made digital art and done print-making. It is best to decide what you will do and set yourself up before the session so you have more time to make .
We move between still life, landscape and portrait/people themes. We also do seasonal themes and conceptual themes. The aim is to build up skills across a range of subject maters. There is also the option to just get on with you own project with support from the group.
I am Amy Powell and have run online art groups since 2020. I facilitate learning environments where people can feel safe and happy so they can try new things and develop at their own pace. My sessions are designed to be supportive and inclusive to encourage creative freedom and increase wellbeing.
