First Clonterbrook Sketch Club was a hit!

Allie Pottinger and I were thrilled to see so many attend our first Sketch Club at Clonterbrook Studios on Wednesday 11th March!

You came in your droves and filled the car park, your sketchbooks and our hearts!

When Allie Pottinger and I talked about getting more people to discover the benefits of sketching outside we wanted to invite people that maybe felt intimidated, embarrassed, shy to sketch on their own. You can absolutely bet that as soon as you get a sketchbook out in public, everyone wants to see what you are doing, so we deliberately organised our first one at our studio base where there is inspiration all around. It was wonderful to see so many of you, all layered up, gear in hand, perched on stools and camping chairs sketching away.

New connections were made, experiences shared and sketchbook pages filled with your interpretation of the scenes before you, whether you chose the outbuildings, trees, lake, daffodils or in some cases the other artists!

We thank each other for and every one of you and really look forward to seeing you at our upcoming dates (see below). We would love to build a community of like minded people to share sketching days out so don’t be shy! Come along to our upcoming dates, bring your friends, or maybe family and have a go!

If you haven’t already signed up to receive my emails please do so - new dates and all information about each event will be emailed to subscribers before the day.

Here are a few pictures from the day for you to enjoy - please do come along to future events - all events are untutored and free to attend!
