Paul Alcock
“I have had a great time over the last few years painting with the Wapping Group, and I am really thrilled to be voted in as a full member. Our weekly trips out have been a fantastic midweek adventure, travelling up to London discovering all sorts of new painting locations. This is always finished by a chat with artist friends in the pub”
