The Sketching Ramblers

If you’re seeking a calm, picturesque location for spring sketching, look no further 🌺🌿✍️

The Isabella Plantation of Richmond Park is a 40 acre woodland garden set within an 1830s Victorian plantation.

It first opened to the public in 1953 and is best known for its evergreen azaleas, which line the ponds and streams.

Let’s explore the collections of Rhododendron, Magnolia and Camellia, plus many other unusual trees and shrubs!

This event is suitable for all, from total beginners to experienced artists. It is a welcoming space to ask others with help on composition, perspective and shading.

Please bring your own sketchbook and materials of your choice - everything from pencils, biros, markers to charcoal, pastels and paints.

Feel free to bring your own food and drink. We could also check out the local cafés ☕️
