Meet, Draw, Recharge - Oldest Trees of Margaret Island

Dear All!

For our next Sketch Circle meetup, we’re taking our sketchbooks back outdoors to draw old and renowned trees in Margaret island.
The c.a. 200 years old trees with their beautiful forms are wonderful subjects to sketch & draw, and it is also an opportunity to learn some facts about history. Let’s make the most of the nice weather and spend some time in the park, drawing, socializing, and recharging together.

Skill level: No experience is required. Whether you are drawing in nature for the first time or are a professional artist, you are all very welcome! The focus is simply on creativity, enjoying the process of drawing, and recharging in good company and a nice environment.

Duration: 1.5 hours

Location: Margaret island

Meeting point: Bus 26 stop at Parkmozi Köz, from where we will walk together to the famous trees

Language: English and/or Hungarian.

Set-up: we aim to draw two 200+ years old trees within a close area for a change of scenes

Please bring:

• Your own tools and equipment (see tips below*)
• A blanket/towel to sit on

House rule: Be kind :)

Joining:
The event works with any number of participants, but we appreciate if you RSVP — or cancel your RSVP — in advance, in line with your plans. There is a technical limit on this platform to accept 10 attendees only but in reality there is no limit.

Come to practice, come to draw for joy, or simply come to spend an hour making something outdoors. Hoping to have you there!

*Tips for sketching outdoors - what you'll need if this is your first time:

• Paper — loose sheets or a sketchbook
• A hard wooden drawing board or hard-back sketchbook
• Graphite pencils of different softness — a set of HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B can come in handy
• If you plan to sketch with watercolours, a portable, refillable water-brush might be your friend, along with water-soluble/aquarelle pencils. They give you a lot of flexibility when time is short!
• Markers and fountain pens are also great choices for sketching
• Nothing is quite as quick as charcoal or pastel — but you might need a few tissues or a towel to clean your hands afterwards :)
