Skipton Sketchers with Amanda Beck

A fun and creative afternoon sketching out and about in Skipton under the guidance of experienced Artist and sketcher Amanda Beck. Each session will share tips and techniques for sketching on location. We will meet in Craven Arts in the education room and return after sketching for refreshments and share sketches. During the sketching session Amanda will be on hand to advise and help you when needed. Amanda will discuss her favourite sketching materials and how she uses them. Plans for indoor sketching have been put into place in case of bad weather. All levels are welcome. If you’re a beginner I can get you started just come along and enjoy the experience. What to bring: Bring a sketchbook and your favourite sketching materials. Keep it simple and easy to carry in a rucksack. An A4 or A5 Sketchbook (I will be using Seawhite ECO Starter Sketchbooks. I bought mine from Skipton Art Shop. Please check in advance if they have them in stock) Sketching Materials: No special purchases necessary if you only have pencils then bring them along. Otherwise, a few pencils, coloured pencils, putty rubber, watercolour pencils with water pen small fold out stool. If you don’t have a fold out stool don’t worry, we will find benches and places to sit. Please don’t bring easels or painting gear; the session focuses on sketching, a quick set up and drawing media.
