Another sunny day for our sketching in Pateley Bridge.

Four of us met in The Talbot Tea Rooms before choosing where to sit for our drawing. It wasn’t long before one realised that a knowledge of perspective was essential but, because the High St goes uphill, the drawing seemed much more difficult.

Even though it was Monday there were plenty of people about and traffic. Joan and Audrey were warned that unless they moved from their seat they could be showered by the enthusiastic council watering team!

After lunch we all set off again for another couple of hours before gathering for a much needed cup of tea at 3-15 and to see what we had all achieved. Nothing finished but it had been an enjoyable day.

Members’ Sketches

Four members of the club enjoyed glorious sunshine for their sketching around The Bull.
Jill and Philip are always welcoming and have hung all the Turner competition paintings in The Bull.
The area was buzzing with cyclists on a charity race but when they left all was peaceful.
We found a very interesting barn in the village where there is plenty to tempt you with wooden objects, cards and other gifts.
John and Margaret sat by the river Ure, Barbara went to the churchyard and Audrey sat by the bridge to get a different angle on the buildings and later went to the lane to sketch one of the doorways.

John climbed up the Marmion tower to the wonderful oriel window but was disappointed not to have us acknowledge him waving to us as we were too engrossed with our sketching!
