Come see us  in Margate and experience art the way you’ll never experience in a studio or find on the Internet.

Over 3 days you’ll see all of Margate, but we’ll also teach you how to observe it, respond instinctively and build up a collection of visual information. Hope it doesn’t sound like work because it really just starts and finishes with you exploring the seaside town in groups or individually; and thinking like an artist.

Each day will be different:

Drawing mediums and approaches

We’ll start at base with a welcome and point out different drawing approaches and advise on working outdoors generally. For those new to drawing we’ll offer basic drawing tips whilst those with more experience will be taken through a series of warm up exercises, designed to encourage a switch of drawing mediums. If we’re ready we’ll take a 5 minute walk to the Main Sands and Dreamland where we’ll embark on outdoor sketching and painting if preferred until lunch time. Students can bring a packed lunch to enjoy on the beach or choose to eat in one of the many places and budgets around Margate. In the afternoon students can continue to create/document the outdoors or develop what will be paintings and drawings back at base.
