Saturday 24th July: Summer Blues - Meadows and Butterflies
Discover the joy of getting back to nature with your sketchbook in hand, glorious
Dorset landscape for inspiration and a local artist there with you for help, advice
and directions to the best views (and teashops) in the county. The workshop is
4 hours, giving you plenty of time to pick up tips and soak up your surroundings.
Cost: £35.00
Start Time: 10a.m.
Finish: 2.30p.m.
Meet at Fontmell & Melbury Down car park at the top of Spread Eagle Hill on the Higher
Blandford Road (ask us for directions if you need them). Please bring your own art materials and picnic. Once you have met up in the car park enjoy a short walk across the chalk downs to enjoy the breathtaking views of the Blackmore Vale. Sam will point out any rare flowers, butterflies or birds along the way and then drop down into the meadow to find a good spot to sit, study and start sketching.
These field study trips are perfect for beginners or if you have recently taken up watercolour painting as a hobby.
"Whatever the weather, be prepared!"
