Intro to Green Sketching - Festival of Chichester special event! Brandy Hole Copse, Chichester / Weds 25 June 10.30-11.30
Join me (Claire) for an introduction to the joys of Green Sketching. Learn how simple drawing activities can turn a walk in the woods into a magical world of wonder, noticing and slowing down, benefitting our mental health and bringing calm to our busy lives.
Through guided activities we will take a slow approach to noticing our natural environment, and use a pencil to enhance our observations. This isn’t an art class, its about using drawing to connect with nature. Absolute beginners very much encouraged… and don’t worry, we won’t be sharing or comparing our drawings!
Part of the Day of Discovery at Brandy Hole Copse event, for the Festival of Chichester 2025. There are lots more events happening on this day at Brandy Hole Copse, please see the event page for more details!
