Salisbury Sketchers are a branch of the Salisbury Group of Artists who meet once a month on a Sunday afternoon throughout the summer, to draw and paint at local Salisbury venues or nearby locations. There is no extra charge for these events and friends are welcome to accompany members. No specific skills are needed for these enjoyable and sociable afternoons.

Join me at Salisbury Museum on Sunday, January 18th at 2 pm to view the Open Landscape exhibition.
It raises some controversial points as to what defines ‘landscape’ and how we depict it. I would encourage members to view as I found it opened up interesting conversations.

If you have already visited, then you are welcome to join me for tea at 2.45 pm in the cafe where we can have a chat about our art and future sketching events.

Entry to the Museum and Exhibition is £10.90 per adult, (£12 with Gift Aid).
Museum Members - Free Admission.
Admission to Cafe only - Free

Please let me know by January 11th if you are coming, so that if necessary I can advise the cafe of numbers.

Further details on the exhibition can be found HERE

Thanks to all members who have supported Salisbury Sketchers throughout the year. I look forward to 2026 when I hope to welcome old and new members to join us at our events.

In the meantime, I wish everybody a very Happy Christmas and an enjoyable creative year ahead.

Visit to the River Avon footpath, Salisbury
Sunday, October 19th, 2025.

I was looking forward to our last outdoor sketching meeting, envisaging wonderful Autumn colours in the trees along the river bank.

Sadly, the afternoon was wet and windy and pretty dismal and I doubted anybody would come along to sketch, so I was very pleased indeed when two stalwart members arrived in wet weather gear to join me.

The Waitrose cafe outside seating area provided a good space for them to draw the exotic plants there, whilst I kept dry under a nearby bridge to draw the bank opposite.

After a while the dampness in the air seeped into our bones, so we welcomed tea and cake and arty chats in the warm interior of the cafe.

A happy ending to our 2025 year of sketching.
