Weston Park Sketchcrawl


Yes, the 1st one was such fun, we did it again almost immediately. As it happens, International Sketchcrawl Day was last Saturday, so some of the same folks as last time, plus some new ones, met up for another day of sketching.

We started in Weston Park Museum, drawing various stuffed animals, pinned insects and odd exhibits of all kinds:

We ate a packed lunch and then the boldest of the party braved the outdoors, to draw in the grounds around the museum:

Of course, it rained almost immediately, so after a damp and rather chilly hour and a bit, we retreated indoors again for a final warm-up sketch:

We rewarded ourselves with a drink at the nearby University Arms and passed all the sketchbooks round. As you can see, one or two people still couldn't stop sketching!

There always exciting to see the variety of techniques and all the different ways people interpret the same subjects.

iPad Demo

If you look carefully above, you can see that one person even brought an iPad instead of a sketchbook (Jane's iPad drawings are at the very top).

Ahh! Martyn and Jo

What an amazing day out. Please email me if you'd like to take part next time - everyone is welcome, whatever your age, experience or ability, and it's all free. What could be better eh?

Ooh! Tina and Lynne

Thank you very much for your post, so interesting to see all different artists drawing together, almost like I was there too. I really enjoy combination of letters and image in your drawings. Beautiful!

Really enjoyed looking at these sketches. For me they are often more exciting than the end product.

I am a big fan of yours and recently bought 'Class Two at the Zoo' which is treasured my 2 and 5/6ths year-old (and by myself).

I love your style (and simultaneously hate you for being SO damn gifted!)

Keep up the good work!
