Autumn After Dark - Gosforth Civic Theatre

An evening painting session by candlelight, as the nights draw in.

Wednesday 21 October

7pm to 8.30pm

Gosforth Civic Theatre

£25, canvas, paints and brushes all set out for you

There's something different about painting in the evening. The day is already behind you and there's nowhere you need to be afterwards. It's 90 minutes that belong to you, a chance to sit down, slow down and put the rest of the day to one side.

The lights go down, candles on, and autumn landscapes are projected behind us while we paint.

The paints are set out and a canvas is waiting, so there's nothing to organise and nothing to do but paint. There's an artist alongside you the whole way, guiding as much or as little as you like. Follow the steps if you'd rather, or head off in your own direction once you've settled in.

Everyone paints their own picture, inspired by the season rather than copying a set image. No two come out the same, and yours comes home with you at the end.

For any level. Come whether you paint often or haven't picked up a brush since school. Come on your own or bring someone. The bar is open if you fancy a drink.
