Forage ‘n’ Sketch…En plein air! with Eimear Maguire
30th July & 6th August
Time: 11am
Meeting point: Belfast Castle
Charge: £25 per session
Take a leisurely walk on the Cavehill with artist Eimear Maguire, and together be inspired by the summer season and the Belfast hills at their best, just bursting with life and colour.
Eimear will talk you through some of the gorgeous natural habitat, trees, birds, plants and edibles that can be found right on our own doorstep.
Breathe in the colours, tones and textures all found in nature, before finding a nice little spot to settle with a sketchbook where you will be guided through using graded pencils to sketch, create tone, and use oil pastels to add colour.
You will create a series of nature studies that you can use as reference for future work or as a handy little notebook to bring you right back to nature when you need it.
PLEASE NOTE: there will be steps taken up to the Echo, a quiet area for sketching. Suitable clothing should be worn, and you should bring a blanket/folding chair to use while seated.
