OUR NEXT OUTING

Sunday, August 16th
River Avon bankside, Salisbury

We will be sketching by the footpath alongside the River Avon between the Maltings and Waitrose, and around the River Project walk between the two rivers.

Meet at 2.00 pm by the white wall outside the Elai Indian restaurant building situated in the coach park.

There are plenty of benches around the area and toilets are situated in the coach park. Car parking in the central car, or 3 hours free at Waitrose car park a short walk away.

There are mature trees along the river banks for a shaded choice in which to sit, whilst the planted areas of grasses and wild flowers are more exposed to the sun, (presuming the good weather continues!). There are glimpses of the cathedral spire from this area.

Salisbury Sketchers visit to Wilton Town Centre on Sunday, July 19th.

After the very high temperatures of the past weeks, it was a relief to have a cooler sunny day in which to sketch.

It was good to welcome two new younger people who joined as well as a couple of members who hadn’t been able to come along for a while.

Wilton has plenty to offer sketchers, and whilst the majority of us spent the afternoon in the shade near the ruins of the old St Mary’s church, drawings were also produced of the Italianate church and market place clock tower.
