What’s it all about?


Join artist Sarah Jane Richards and her first socially distanced outdoor sketching course!

Calderstones Park is a stunning park in South Liverpool boasting woodland, lakes, fields, and beautiful Japanese and old English gardens.

This sketching session is a mixed ability class suitable for practising artists who want to experience drawing in this unique location or beginner’s looking to learn useful skills to help record and celebrate the world around them.

A range of safety measures have been introduced to keep everyone as safe and comfortable as possible. Please respect the current social distancing guidelines.

Participant numbers are limited to 6 per course. This will allow everyone to feel comfortable keeping a safe distance working outdoors. Each participant will need to bring their own materials, and will only handle their own work and tools throughout the course.


Programme


Drawing what you see in nature is the perfect tool to achieve calm and contentment with the world. Relax into creativity in sketching in the park, led by professional artist Sarah-Jane Richards.

Participants will explore how sketching, drawing and mark making from observation whilst walking in the beautiful leafy grounds of Calderstones Park offers a soothing and stress-reducing experience.

Suitable for all levels and abilities.


Materials
