Here are some pictures from our first post lockdown workshop, with 13 members present. Graham gave an excellent presentation, reviewing portraits from a wide variety of artist and people enjoyed creating portraits mainly from portraits they'd brought along to the session.
aim4art is a voluntary community arts group, formed in 2009, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of painting and drawing in the Tees Valley. We aim to paint, aim to draw, aim to create art. We meet every Tuesday (10am-4pm) at The Barn, overlooking Hemlington Lake, Middlesbrough, TS8 9DA. We have no regular tutor, but support each other and organise a programme of visits and workshops.
