Merrymeade House, Merrymeade Chas, Brentwood, CM15 9FE
Join us at the historic grounds of Merrymeade House to paint, draw or create 'en plein air' (in the open air) with artist Lucia Hardy as part of the Brentwood Art Trail.
You'll be able to set up your art materials and create some artwork in with others outdoors at Merrymeade House, overlooking the house itself, cricket ground and close to the Country Park. Lucia, who was a wildcard heat winner on Sky Arts' Landscape Artist of the Year, will be on hand to support anyone who needs it.
This session is suitable for experienced artists and beginners, anyone who wants to create with us whatever their level of expertise.
Award-winning Merrymeade Tea Rooms will be open with food and drink avaiable to purchase.

Suggested items: sketchbook, drawing pencils/pens, coloured pencils/pens, paints or other art materials of your choice.
