When we first conceived the Off We Go project, we commissioned artist Hannah Dyson to create an image which captured the distinctive nature of this part of the Stroud district. And so for our final Nature Draw, we’re heading up into the woods above the village of Uley, gently ascending towards the Bury (don’t panic, we’re only going about a third of the way up, so no need for you to be a seasoned hiker or mountaineer!).
Once we’re amongst the trees, we’ll be getting down to the joyful business of sketching and drawing, translating the “cathedral” of trees within the woods into our sketchbooks.
We’ll try out quick, gestural sketches, tracing the skeletons of the trunks and branches before discovering how to incorporate Mother Nature’s finest accomplishment - the emergence of new life and growth within the forest.
All you need to bring along is a bottle of water, a good pair of walking shoes, an open mind, and the excitement to discover an addictive new way of drawing with Hannah offering structure and guidance to your morning’s sketch and stroll! Places limited, sign-up now.
For ages 11-16years.
