Sketchbooking Day in Valley Gardens - Floral and Foliage Studies Day 2

(This day can be stand alone, or as a follow on for anyone wanting to continue from yesterday).

This is an opportunity to do some studies from life with a group of like minded artists, and enjoy the outdoors. We’re so lucky with a wealth of subject matter in Harrogate’s Valley Gardens.  Please bring your own materials, at least a sketchbook, pencil & pen. If you’re all set up, bring some form of colour, be it portable water colour or coloured pencils for ease, for example. But honestly, just a drawing pen and simple sketchbook can be enough to have a very satisfying day where we study detail, or capture a feeling, say some lively movement and texture in the flowers & foliage that attracts you. I will pass from student to student throughout the day, giving guidance & encouragement. We’ll move about within the gardens, keeping fairly close together, so that I can attend to all equally.

Do bring lunch, a portable stool or chair is recommended, and feel free to take breaks as you feel inclined. Should we have inclement weather we will take cover in the colonnade & perhaps work from there if necessary. Meeting point is in the area by the Cafe in the middle of the gardens at 10.20. I hope to see you there!
