Sketching in Nature

Join us in the Ashburton Domain for a relaxed morning of sketching in nature. Whether you’re an experienced artist or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, this is an opportunity to explore your surroundings, notice the small details, and enjoy the simple pleasure of drawing outdoors.

Drawing in nature can be a calming and meditative practice, helping us to pause, focus our attention and be present in the moment.

This event is organised by Keep Learning Mid Canterbury & the Ashburton Art Gallery & Museum. It is FREE -registrations are essential.

We will meet in Rokowhiria Art & Heritage where you'll receive all the materials you need. Then we will head out into the Domain nearby. Instruction and guidance, if required, will be provided by Art Gallery staff member Katie Graham. Please bring a chair if you need one, and a sunhat and water bottle.
