Local art lovers have celebrated their own artist achievements with a community exhibition.

People from all over the area came together to share their love of art, learn new skills and meet new people with The Seasons Art Class.

Taught by experienced, local artist, Rachel Labovitch, students were introduced to a variety of mediums including watercolours, acrylics and pastels.

Student Maggie Sykes said: “It has been such an inspiring, informative and instructional course.

"It has been one of the best things I have attended. It has been great fun, working within a friendly group of learners, who have been supportive of each other’s attempts."

Participants ranged from complete beginners to improver levels.

Due to the success of the weekly class the course will run again for 14 weeks from May 22, at Old Deer Park Sports Ground in Richmond.

The small, friendly class welcomes new members and no experience is necessary. For details please contact Nicola Anderson-Gibbs on 0208 133 7515.
