A gorgeous summer’s evening painting in Hertford. The garden doors open, a lovely breeze, nice cool drink and painting with great company. It’s always a pleasure to meet with the regulars and new painters. It’s all about giving yourself a little healthy challenge and just having a go at painting in different styles created by the world’s iconic artists. Last night we had a go at a Henri Rousseau - well done everyone. Check out our up and coming evenings and daytime social painting at artandthrive.com
