EXPERIMENTAL ART GROUP
This group was created to offer our more experienced painters a chance to explore fresh ideas and share their creative approaches with one another. It’s not a class—there’s no formal instruction, and everyone’s contributions are welcomed. Each session is led by a volunteer from within the group, making it a truly collaborative experience.
We’ve painted with knives, sponges, and oversized brushes. We’ve worked in the woods, by the shore, and in the clubhouse. Our sessions have explored materials, colour, texture, tone, and line—and we’ve even ventured into printing and collage. The creative possibilities are endless.
Each meeting also includes a look at the work of an artist chosen by the session leader, helping us expand our understanding of what art can be and how it can be made.
Not everyone chooses to lead—some prefer to simply join in and enjoy, and that’s absolutely fine. There’s no judgment, just a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where creativity flows and fun is guaranteed.

February 2026 - Led by Joan Patterson - We looked at Frida Kahlo and her many self portraits. These were often depicted in bright colours and included items, wildlife, pets, etc. that had meaning for her.
Joan invited us to do a study of someone we know or of ourselves, showing not only their face but the things they too enjoyed and had meaning to them.
