Join local artist Rose-Marie MJ for a sketch and wander down to the famous boathouse at Woodchester Park. The boathouse is a 19th-century, Grade II listed building located on the edge of the Middle Pond in Woodchester Park. Rose and a member of Tinkley Gate’s staff will guide you on this walk through the park with our destination being the boathouse. We’ll have the opportunity to sketch and draw the structure as well as the surrounding area in the early evening light. Rose will be on hand to give you tips on perspective, composition and en plein air advice should you need it. Book yourself into the perfect arty, summer evening event!
Some materials are included in your booking, these include an A4 sketchbook, 4B graphite pencil and an eraser. However, if you wish to bring other materials please do so! Just make sure they’re easy to carry as our walk will lead down paths and across fields.
The walk will end at 7:30 back at Tinkley Gate car park. Booking is required; please do so through www.rosemariemj.co.uk. An additional parking charge of £4 applies in the Tinkley Gate car park, this is a great opportunity to come with friends and car pool together!
