Paint along - Ancient Trees in Watercolour

Anna Kenny is running a watercolour workshop at The Old School House in Boscombe on Thursday 29 October, from 19:30 to 21:30. The theme is ancient trees, and the whole thing is set up as a relaxed, social paint-along, so it's as much about the company as the painting.

Over the two hours, you'll work with pen and watercolours to paint ancient trees. You can use photos provided for the session, or bring along your own images if you've got a particular tree in mind. It's pitched at beginner artists and creatives who've never tried these materials before, but it's open to all levels, so you're welcome whether you're starting from scratch or just fancy a night of painting with other people. All the materials are provided, and there's tea and coffee on hand, so you don't need to bring anything but yourself. By the end, you'll leave with one to three A5-sized watercolour pieces.

The venue is The Old School House, known as TOSH, at Gladstone Mews, Gladstone Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth BH7 6BG. It's a non-profit heritage building run as an inclusive community arts space, hosting workshops, performances and community gatherings. It's got step-free access, onsite parking and kitchen facilities, which makes it an easy spot to get to and stay at. General admission is £23, and the session runs from 19:30 to 21:30 on Thursday 29 October.
