I love art and have been painting for ages now :) I personally enjoy painting with oil on canvas, acrylic and water colour (in that order) but I do get bored doing it all alone. So, I thought this might be a good idea for all interested to get together to paint, share techniques and just have a good time together while meeting new people .. If you like painting or other form of art, to share techniques with a bunch of similar minded people, then please do join !
