Weather, Outdoor Drawing, Tools & Materials
Rather than waiting for perfect conditions, we work with real ones. It’s more about the ritual of slow, responsive drawing which is shaped by place, season and weather. Some of the most memorable marks happen on imperfect days!
- Bring your own sketchbook and tools if you have them
- A small selection of pens, pencils and paper will be available
- If using loose paper, please bring something to lean on
Dogs
Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Dogs must be kept on leads around livestock and wildlife.
