Enjoy researching artists, their lives and their paintings and discussing your findings each month with fellow members. No art background is needed, just a general interest in art. At the end of each session the overall subject matter for the next session is agreed.

A previous session, for example, had chosen American 20th Century Realism. Each member researched this subject through a particular painting, chosen 'out of a hat'. At the following session the results of individual research is informally presented and discussed. In this way the group benefits from discussing a number of works, different artists and differing approaches and hopefully acquires a broad sense of the overall subject.
