What is a sketch walk?
All welcome!
These are guided walks in beautiful locations. They give people the opportunity, space, time, and support to draw the scenery and take in their surroundings. In a world of busy lives, these walks are a peaceful blend of creativity and nature.
You do not need to be able to draw, or have any formal training. We welcome art class drop-outs and portrait artists alike! I mean it, we love stick men!
I offer a variety of walk durations (1.5hrs, 3hrs, half day and full day) and locations so you can choose what works for you.
Sketch Walks offer a unique way to experience nature, improve creativity, and connect with others. All walks have scheduled stops for refreshments at cafes (not-included).
what to bring
Sketchbooks and Materials
I offer a pocket sized Sketch Walk Bundle which includes a hand bound sketch pad (A6), a charcoal pencil and a black postcard for you to customise and send to a friend. This can be ordered for your walk.
​But it is up to you if you prefer to bring your own sketchbook and pens.
What to Wear?
I recommend wearing light, warm clothing, with lots of layers and a woolly hat. We can be walking up and down hills and stopping and starting so it is useful to bring a backpack to put your various layer into.
I wear walking boots. The ground can be uneven and sometimes slippery so it is worthwhile wearing a waterproof boot.
