What a wonderful opportunity to sit outside and draw all day. I would normally chose to paint and draw in private, in silence and with no-one looking! So to register for this event I felt I was being brave. Draw Clitheroe was an interactive and inclusive event held in August for all ages with lots going on from guided sketchbook tours, artist led workshops and child friendly projects.
Prizes were awarded for the best drawings and all the submitted work was displayed in various shop windows throughout the town forming an art trail where people could vote for their favourite.
My entry was drawn from a bench below Clitheroe Castle museum with a view over the shops on Moor Lane across the valley to Pendle Hill in the distance. I enjoyed the pencil and ink work and especially how the watercolour wash dissolved into the ink.
The reality was that passers by were lovely and encouraging, the town was vibrant and more people were encouraged to visit the high street of this historic market town.
