Plein Air Outing Tall Trees at Rhinefield
Saffron Leppard
On Sunday 2nd August we will be painting ‘En Plein Air’ at The Tall Trees walk at Rhinefield Ornamental Drive, Brockenhurst
This is how our Plein Air events work.
The event is free to attend. You bring along whatever media suits you and appropriate clothing and materials for the weather and venue. You chose your own subject. We aim to pick venues where we expect there to be a good choice, something for everyone.
Often people end up clustering together but you can work alone – it’s entirely up to you. If you are a bit unsure you won’t be alone – it can be a bit daunting to come for the first time – I know I felt very self conscious to be around all these ‘proper’ artists! We will look after you.
The session starts at 10am at an agreed meeting point and we return at 12 midday to share our work and talk over the morning’s achievements in a ‘throw down’. Typically we stop for a coffee and maybe lunch at a nearby venue – that’s entirely optional
Details for Rhinefield
Meet for 10am outside the Visitor Centre. The postcode is SO42 7QB and the attached photo shows the location. Its possible we may need to pay for parking. You may wish to bring a seat along so you can perch at any scene that catches your eye. There are a number of circular walks and some beautiful natural scenes as well as the tall trees to catch your eye, including the giant sequoias . We will return to the Visitor Centre/ a nearby picnic bench for our throwdown where toilets are available and I believe there is typically a coffee hut and perhaps even an ice cream van there too.
We look forward to seeing you. Should anyone want a lift on the day please ask
