👩🎨 Our Next Meetup!
Day Time & Twilight Sessions!
This months Meet-Up is going to be a little different!
Based on your feedback, I’m making some experimental changes to keep evolving our group.
Sometimes experiments don’t work out, but that’s how we discover what makes our sessions even better!
August’s two main changes are new session timings and twilight painting option.
In summary here are the changes for Saturday 16th of August:
- Option to join either/both ☀️ Day Time or/and 🌙 Twilight Sessions.
- ☀️ 3 Day Time locations to choose in the poll.
- 🌙 3 Twilight Time locations to choose in the poll.
- ⌚ Day Time session now starts at 11:00.
- ⌚ Day Time session now finishes at 13:30 (throw down).
🕐 SCHEDULES 🕐
☀️ Day Time Session:
- 👋 11:00 – Gather and Greet
- 🎨 11:30 – 2 hours of painting

📝 NOTES 📝
☀️ Day Time Session:
- Now staring at 11:00 (instead of 10:00).
- Throw down is now 13:30 (instead of 14:00).
- After Throw down everyone is welcome to continue hanging out at the nearest café or pub.
🌙 Twilight Session:
- Sunset is at 20:19 (it takes anywhere from 70 to 100 minutes for it to get dark after sunset.)
- I’d recommend bringing a light so you can paint where you like and not be stuck looking for a lamppost to illuminate your canvas and palette. I use a clip-on light that attaches above my canvas.
- Keep valuables secure and stay aware of your surroundings.
- If you’re new to the area, buddy up with someone familiar with the location.
- High tide is at 17:00.

How it Works
The Brighton Painting Group gathers every 3rd Saturday of the month to paint together at various scenic spots in and around Brighton. The group’s location for each meet-up changes monthly, offering a fresh environment each time. Here’s how the planning process works:
- 🎨 3rd Saturday Meet-Up: This date is fixed every month, so members always know when the next painting day will be.
- 📍 Location Suggestions (4th Week): During the fourth week of the month, we open up a call for location suggestions from group members.
- 🗳️ Location Poll (Following Weekend): That weekend, we conduct a poll based on the suggested locations, allowing everyone to vote on where they’d like to paint next.
- 📢 Announcement: By the end of the poll weekend, the winning location is announced, setting the stage for the next month’s meet-up.
This process keeps our meet-ups engaging and member-driven, and it ensures the location is chosen about three weeks before each session.
