Our Last Outing
Wilton House and Gardens
Sunday 18 May 2025
Our latest visit was to the grounds of Wilton House.
Being a lovely sunny weekend it was very busy with families enjoying picnics, but the grounds cover a large area so we were all able to chose a good spot from which to sketch, the Palladian bridge being a popular subject.
Our Past Outings
Monpesson House
Sunday 4 May
Mompesson House in the Close kindly allowed us to sketch there as part of their Festival of Blossom. It was very chilly in the garden but the sketchers were very stoic and endured the cold wind to produce some good sketches. Sixteen members took part; here is a selection of work.
