OUR NEXT OUTING

Sunday, July 19th
Sketching at Wilton

Meet by the Grehound Pub in the Market Square at 2pm for sketching in and around the area. Just nearby are the ancient ruins of the Old St Mary’s Church situated in the churchyard where there is tree cover if hot. Further up the road, a few minutes walk away in West Street, is an architecturally interesting Italianate Church. There are also many buildings around the market area that provide good subjects. So plenty of choices to draw and paint.

Parking is free on Sunday in the Market Square, the South Street car park, and some street parking spaces may be available on the day.

Please note this venue replaces the previously planned visit to Wardour Castle, now cancelled.

Visit to Old Sarum, June 28th

After the heatwave of the previous week the breeze at the top of Old Sarum was very welcoming, as was the sight of many butterflies amongst the beautiful wild flowers and uncut grasses. Particularly striking were the banks of Rose Bay Willow herb plants, that some of us chose as our subject.

Large cumulus clouds dominated the skyline and given more time would have been a great subject to study.

But as usual time flew by and our pleasant afternoon came to an end as we gathered together to enjoy looking at each other’s sketches.
