Outdoor Painting/Sketching Days 2026
30 July 2026 at the Barley Mow Bridge, Winchfield
Just seven members met up to paint this idyllic canal side scene, most focusing on the bridge itself, although houses, pathways, foliage and of course, canal boats also featured. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day and a get together for most at the pub afterwards was something to look forward to. People were working in oils, pastels, coloured pencils and watercolour, with also a bit of collage in evidence. You can see the fabulous work produced in the pictures below.
15 August 2026 at The Elvetham Hotel, Hartley Wintney
This was a well attended plein air session in the glorious grounds of the hotel, in spite of the extremely warm weather. Luckily there was plenty of shade under the trees and some of us met up for a chat and refreshing drink in the hotel bar at midday. There were so many beautiful views - of the buildings, gardens, stately trees,surrounding fields, the bridge over the river and the riverside itself. Everyone agreed it was a lovely place to paint - and we would like to go back next summer!
