Hello,

Welcome to Hampshire Sketch Group and thanks so much for joining us. The group is for anyone interested in getting together to go sketching, drawing or painting in and around Hampshire (& sometimes further afield), all levels of experience are welcome - even no experience!

Have a look at our upcoming meet-ups, and RSVP for anything that interests you.

During the warmer months we tend to meet outdoors, and when it's colder we move indoors as we don't like to suffer too much for our art! The format of the meets is usually meet somewhere, find something that interests you to sketch/paint/draw in the location, sketch for a couple of hours or so, then re-group and go for some refreshments and to share what we've done if you feel happy to do so!

The group is not in any way run for profit and there is no charge for each individual get together. 'Meetup' do however charge me over $300 year to host the group on their website, so we have a £7 annual fee to help cover the cost Meetup charge which is payable each January. If joining mid year as you are it’s pro rata, so that would be £3.50 for the rest of 2025. It can be paid via paypal here
