July is a month for vibrant colour if we follow nature’s lead. Bala is in Bloom thanks to the hard work of local volunteers. Time to pull out your canvass and focus on contrasting hues, intensity and values. We will park on the Bala Falls Road across from the KEE to Bala. Paint flowers in one of the displays, or pick up a building in the background for a cool composition.
Meet at 9:00 AM and paint until noon. No RSVP required. All welcome – new and experienced artists. Following the session, we can go to lunch together on the patio at the nearby Bala Pub.
