Elvaston Castle Country Park
Borrowash Road, Elvaston, Derby, DE72 3EP
Meet at 10am in front of the castle (see pic right) we will paint around this location but feel free to roam wherever you choose. There is a large pond, boulders, ancient trees, the castle itself, lots of subjects to paint in this area. I will be staying in the open and will remain visible around this spot, don’t be shy come and say hello. I’m more than happy to paint alongside whoever, there is no tuition or guidance. just a chance for you to paint amongst other supportive locals.
Convene at the Cafe outside in the courtyard around 1:30/2pm where we can chat over a coffee about our mornings work. (there is no obligation to show your work, this is not a competition) please also paint for as long or as little as you please on the day.
The idea is you turning up is enough, if we get a decent painting at the end, that’s just a bonus.
PARKING; Park in the main car park and walk to the location, roughly 5 minute walk from the car park. It can be busy on a Sunday so allow time for parking, paying and walking (£3.50 for 3 hours or £7 all day via ‘pay by phone’ app)
Toilets are located in the castle which also provides refreshments, feel free to bring a pack up.
Bring all your own painting equipment and please take away all rubbish and leave no trace after you have finished.
Dress for the weather, this will go ahead rain or shine.(all part of the fun and challenge of outdoor painting)
No fees, no competition, no tuition, just a friendly encouraging space for painters/sketchers/creatives to connect via paint from life
All ages and abilities welcome
See you in the field
