Sketchbook Walking Group, all abilities welcome!
Whether for mindfulness, to use it as a journal, visual notes for future work, or to sharpen your drawing skills, this series of sketch walks in Bangor will send you well on the way to having a treasured, authentic field sketchbook.
Meet in Boom Studios workshop for a cuppa, a briefing and some warm up exercises. Then we will head out to a spot around the town to work through some warm-up exercises before making more detailed studies. Optional show & tell afterwards on site/back in the workshop.
All locations planned to have toilets and shelter on site, or within a short walk
Mild "weather" won't deter us, awful weather may result in us doing studio drawing or an alternative indoor venue instead. Please dress for changeable outdoor conditions.
BYO sketchbook and whatever art materials you can be bothered to set up on the hoof! A pen/pencil will be absolutely fine, a spare is always a good idea. You may also wish to bring something to sit on, in case the ground is wet/if you need a guaranteed seat.
**The sketch walk is going on tour in July! 10 artists, Boom past and present, are holding a special exhibition for the month if July in The Gallery, Whitehead. To tie in with this, Jenni will lead one of her sketch walks in Whitehead to capture the coast and trademark colourful seafront. You are invited to bring a picnic and visit the gallery afterwards for a free tour of the exhibition.
