Take part in our paint outs, where we visit beautiful Central Coast locations and capture nature's beauty.

These are the locations for us to Meet, Sketch and Paint on Tuesday mornings. It's hard to have the perfect location with perfect weather that suits everyone. We have had some very successful locations, ones that we have all enjoyed. Your suggestions for new locations or favourites you would like to revisit, are always welcome. If you haven't been before, bring your choice of painting or sketching gear and come along. 9:30-10am is a good time to start then we like to gather at 11.45am for "Throw Down" and show and photograph our mornings work.
