art in the park - another great day out!

We had a great day at Birkenhead Park on Saturday 20th August.

Over a hundred artists from a wide variety of clubs and associations joined us, all of whom had positive comments to make.

Members of the public were very interested and some joined in.

Our thanks to all those who helped during the day, to the excellent models who added real atmosphere to the scene, to the Birkenhead Park staff for their help in the months running up to the event and, of course, to the Canada geese and swans who all kept so still!

The weather held up and people were able to navigate the transport challenges - all in the name of Art.

Thanks, most of all, to all the artists that came to make it such a special event and to those keeping an eye on us from afar!

Following our hugely successful open sketching day in Liverpool ONE, we do hope that you can join us for another free event, once again en plein air with models. Everyone welcome!

Enjoy a relaxed day drawing and painting with us in this, the 150th anniversary year of The Liver Sketching Club and the 175th anniversary of Birkenhead Park.

We will be meeting by the Visitors' Centre in this lovely park on Saturday 20th August between 10am and 4pm.

Models will be sitting from 10.30 and wearing traditional dress and with a fabulous backdrop provided by the lake and the ornate Swiss Bridge.
