It has been fun putting together five venues for outdoor painting and sketching this summer and I look forward to hosting these occasions, with the exception of Knowle Rock and Lordsmead house which will be kindly hosted by Corinna and Shelagh respectively, so on those days I will be a part of the group. 

There is nothing to beat sitting or standing at one’s easel in interesting outdoor settings  and because painting is normally a solitary occupation, mutual support comes high on my list when in a group providing  an opportunity to share and talk art, techniques etc. 

A planned part of the days proceedings will be a convivial lunch spent together munching on our sandwiches , making each day something of a shared adventure . 

All the days are free to members with the exception of Kilver Court which will cost £5.50 (admission fee) per person . I look forward to seeing you there and let’s hope for moderate weather.
