@roverkopite @C20thPosters What a great poster! I've never seen it before, but @roverkopite is right as the exhibition catalogue was published by Carlisle Museums & Art Gallery in 1985 - it must have been a travelling exhibition that was shown at Prescot Museum.

November Greys was the theme of today’s oil painting class with artist Harry Garner. Learning about tone and colour desaturation, participants created wonderful work that was anything but dull. #oilpainting #artclass #CultureKnowsley
