Here's a very short promo from our drawing trip to Spain last month

Here are a few of Ellie's photos from our Bali trip in June. Happy days! Don't forget our next meet up in Nottingham on the 8th November. This will be the last Drawing Escapes Event of 2025. We're taking a break but will be back drawing in London and life-drawing in Loughborough in January. Another great meet-up in St Albans! Managed to dodge the weather in St Peter's Church! Next meet-up is going to be in Nottingham on the 8th November.. hope to see some new faces up north! Thanks to everyone who joined us at the Southbank last Saturday. We had a great group with lots of new faces! The weather held for us and we found a great spot for the show and tell at the end. Next meet-up details coming soon. We're planning 3 before the end of the year in London, St Albans and Nottingham. Hope to see you there!    Here are some drawings by Isabella from our research trip. Let us know if you're interested in joining us next May. It’s has a lovely atmosphere, with grand buildings, colourful houses and some old run-down parts. Food is great and prices are reasonable. The river is the lifeblood of the city and the history of the port is still evident. Lots of quiet locations and cafes to draw in too. We've just returned from a research trip to Porto. We are always looking for new destinations for our regular travellers and thought that Porto might be an option for next year. Well is it? Most certainly it is! It's got all the right ingredients. Beautiful architecture and history, peaceful parks, river views and walks, fantastic food and of course Port! Top this off with friendly locals and reasonable prices and it's perfect! Message us if you're interested. We're planning on travelling May 2026.  Sunday 11th May 1.30pm Everybody welcome! So pack a sketchbook, a blanket and maybe even a picnic and come along to this regular free drawing event. Join Martyn and Isabella for a few hours of relaxed drawing, followed by a drink and a discussion about of the day’s work. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and it's a great chance to draw with like-minded people and to meet us at Drawing Escapes. We will meet here https://maps.app.goo.gl/8gEXEMzFuGUPCFpM6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy This event is free but please message us to confirm your interest, or if you have any questions please get in touch.  First of all, Happy New Year to all! We are pleased to have our new dates for 2025 in place and hope you will be able to join us this year. We are keeping Bali, Istanbul, Spain and Krakow as our core destinations but will be researching new places too. There's a possibility of a life drawing trip to Galicia in Northern Spain in September where we have contacts with artists in La Coruña and lecturers at the University in Pontevedra. We'll keep you posted about this one. We hope to get to Gdansk again too and may tie it into the Krakow trip if we get sufficient interest. Message us for details. Also, don't forget to get in touch with us if you have a custom destination in mind. We will do our best to make it happen! Let's make 2025 is a happy and creative year! We hope to see you soon! ✍🏻  Drawing in Malaga 16 – 23 October 2024
This was my second trip with ‘Drawing Escapes’. The trips are becoming a central pillar to my mission to re-develop creative skills that have been lost over the years, due to neglect whilst I focussed my professional attention elsewhere. For me, it is the perfect fit: a combination of inspiring cultural environments; relaxed accommodation; a dynamic group of likeminded people and tuition that is tailored to the needs and demands of the group. During the week, we shared stories, food, long walks and exchanged valuable tips and advice on drawing and creativity, to the benefit of everyone in the group. Martyn’s style of teaching draws on a lifetime’s experience of teaching in top institutions, alongside his own artistic practice. The intensely focussed workshops, as well as daily sessions, ‘en plein air’, enabled us all to refresh, reset and progress. I managed to fill half a sketchbook with new work and ideas. Looking forward to the Bali trip in May 2025 – hoping to fill an entire book on this one! I’ve definitely got the bug!!! Rachel Brooke 28.10.24 Here are just some of the drawings by Kathy Sawyer from the Athens drawing trip. We were blessed with fantastic weather on our first visit to this ancient city and are thinking of returning next year. Loving the confident line in these and the atmospheric quality of the 2 drawings on brown paper. What would we do without a white Posca! 😀 |
