Have you always fancied painting outdoors or from life?
Well now’s your chance. Join us at Farfield Mill, Sedbergh in their second ‘Big Art Competition’
The idea is to bring fellow artists together for a fun and creative day with the emphasis on fun!
Why not dust off your palettes and join in with the challenge of drawing or painting an original local scene around Farfield Mill in approximately 5 hours. (See rules below)
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been painting/drawing for years or only a few months; we all learn from new challenges and working from life with a time restriction is a challenge but hopefully very enjoyable.
To take part, please email us at hello@ruthclaytonartist.com to show your interest. This would be really helpful so that Ruth and Stuart have an idea of the number of people taking part.
