Salisbury Sketchers

Salisbury Sketchers are a branch of the Salisbury Group of Artists who meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon throughout the summer, to draw and paint at local Salisbury venues or nearby locations. There is no extra charge for these events and friends are welcome to accompany members. No specific skills are needed for these enjoyable and sociable afternoons.

Our Last Outing
Visit to St.Thomas’s Church, Salisbury on Sunday February 15th
With heavy rain battering down outside, it was good to be in the welcoming church and to open our sketch books once again.
As we sketched we were entertained by two ladies practising a somewhat discordant modern piece of music on the piano. It was rather similar to trying to discern the meaning of a piece of abstract painting!
Absorbed in our work, the afternoon passed quickly and good sketches were produced from our surroundings.
