The Paint Club: Winter Cottage

The Paint Club is back at The Railway Inn on Tuesday 24 November, and this time the subject is a winter cottage. It's a painting workshop, so you'll be spending the evening with a brush in hand, working your way through a winter scene. The session runs from 19:00 to 21:00, two hours to get from a blank canvas to a finished cottage in the cold.

If you've never done one of these, the format is straightforward: you're guided through the process step by step, so you don't need to be an experienced painter to get something decent on the canvas. The focus here is on a winter cottage, and the whole session is built around that one image, with the guidance taking you through the composition, the colours, and the details that bring a winter scene to life. It's as much about the process as the result, and you'll leave with your own version of the cottage to take home.

The venue is The Railway Inn, at 2 Station Road, Brighton, BN4 1GA. It's a convenient spot for getting to and from, and having the session in a pub setting keeps things relaxed. You'll be painting alongside other people, so it's a social way to spend a Tuesday evening, whether you're coming with friends or just turning up on your own. The two-hour window gives you enough time to work through the painting without it dragging, and you'll be finished by 21:00.

Tickets are £33.00, which is a guide price and subject to change. That covers your place in the workshop and the materials you'll need for the session. It runs on Tuesday 24 November from 19:00 to 21:00 at The Railway Inn, 2 Station Road, Brighton, BN4 1GA.
