Portrait-painting weekend

If you have ever wanted to get to grips with the art of painting a portrait, here’s your big chance. Neil MacDonald will be running a weekend of two workshops, 10.00 am to 4.00 pm, on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday September 24th/25th, at the Rangers’ Centre in Brodick Castle grounds. A model will sit during the two days. Organised by Arran Visual Arts, the weekend is open to all comers, at a cost of £70 to non-members, £50 to members. (Joining AVA is a clear benefit if you could be interested in ongoing workshops.) To book, send your cheque, made out to Arran Visual Arts, to Alison Barr at 6, Manse Crescent, Brodick, Arran, KA27 8AS.
