SALMON LEAP SKETCHING IN AUGUST

Ten of us had a wonderful time sketching along the walk from the Salmon Leap bridge over the River Test to Testwood Mill.

Capturing the flowing water was one of the afternoon's challenges.

Everyone tackled foliage in their own style too. 

 

The old water tower is a beautiful architectural feature of this grade 2 listed building. 

Afterwards we enjoyed a drink, sharing our work and chat at the Salmon Leap pub. What a lovely afternoon!

ART AFTERNOON IN AUGUST

 

Painting and chatting - it was a cool way to spend a hot afternoon in August!

PETLAKE ALPACAS IN JULY

What a fabulous day for TAS Adventurous Artists to go sketching. We were welcomed by the lovely owner, Sue, at Petlake Alpacas.

We walked between paddocks with the cutest baby Cria, towards the donkeys in the woodland, into a cool tree shaded area.

The alpacas were so curious and we soon made friends. The 5 day old Cria stole our hearts....soooo cute.

Animals are not easy to sketch, but everyone recorded the movement and character of these wonderful animals brilliantly. Well done all.

This unique little gem is just outside Totton towards Cadnam and is well worth a visit, for all ages. They offer a range of activities and sell spun yarn and fleece in their shop, amongst other things:
