Sketching to See Saltmarsh

Dumfries and Galloway Council Environment Team & SCAMP

October 18 @ 2:00 pm 4:00 pm

Saltmarshes (or merse) is a very popular habitat for Geese as they return for the winter. This unique environment provides a home and a rich sources of food for many other breeds of birds, including lapwing, redshank and skylark.

If you look a little closer the saltmarsh is bursting with life in the grasses, the mud, and the water. Sketching is a brilliant way to explore merse. While sketching we are still and observing what is happening on, in and around the Saltmarsh on a landscape scale and focused on the detail.

So, join us for a few hours out on the merse no experience of art required and we will teach you how to look at saltmarsh slightly differently.
