Sketching at Lyveden

Join us to Sketch in the Park at Lyveden, in this led workshop by Something Less Boring.

  • Booking essential

This open-air sketching class in the beautiful grounds surrounding the Manor House and the Elizabethan Lodge will provide you with the skills necessary to create great preliminary drawings for your paintings .

Guided by Liddy we'll begin with some gentle drawing exercises and then get out on a planned route around the parkland as we take a number of different scenes.

Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced artist, this class will help you improve your sketching abilities in a relaxed, natural setting. We will provide all drawing materials, but you will need a sketchbook.
