Join me for a fun day of walking and sketching in Ovingdean village just outside Brighton. Take in village life and the lovely summer with your sketchbook in hand. Whether you're an experienced artist or just enjoy doodling, this event is for everyone! Meet fellow sketchbook enthusiasts, get inspired by simple farm life, idyllic cottages and beautiful hills, and learn how to fill your sketchbook. I'll be sharing what materials I use and recommend, how to fill a sketchbook and tips for observational drawing. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to combine exercise and creativity in the great outdoors this summer! How to get there:  From Old Steine or Sea Life Center in Brighton, you can take the 12/12A/14/27 to Greenways, and then walk for 5 minutes along Greenways road into Ovingdean. Alternatively you can take the 52 bus through Woodingdean, getting off at Ovingdean Store and walking down to the village green.  Where to meet: We'll gather on the village green just outside St Wulfrans Church for a chat and from there we'll make our way on a easy but sligthly inclined walk around the village. With a gradual uphill walk , but we'll take it slow - all abilities are welcome! From this view, you'll see the small nestled village, it's a great viewpoint for drawing. And then back down to the village to end off the day. Hopefully just in time for a Wild Flour Pizza! What to bring with: Water/ Drink, snacks and sun protection ( Hat, sun cream etc. )Please wear comfortable walking shoes.Sketchbook - Any size, I would recommend an A5 size.Drawing Materials - can be a pencil, watercolours, paints or ballpoint pen! Anything goes!Recommended Materials: Sketchbooks: Daler Rowney Sketchbooks from Cass ArtRoyal Talens ( A bit pricey, but lovely paper!)Cass Art collection sketchbooks ( Great quality - perfect for beginners)Moleskin Sketchbooks ( Pricey, but lovely to draw and easy to use out and about)Pencils & Paints Like I've said - anything goes! So it's quite hard to say what materials are best, therefore I've just recommended a few if you're keen to get going with sketching from life. Faber Castell coloured pencils ( You can start by buying some of your favourite colours separately and build up your range in this way)Derwent Inktense Pencils ( Lovely saturated colours, great to play around with for watersoluable colours.)Watercolour set ( Windsor & Newton are great if you're invested in your art but if you're just starting out, a more cost effective water colour set will do the trick!)Tombow Brush pens - they are great for blocking out big areas of colour and to get a paintly effect)Reuseable brush pens ( These are great for filling with water, makes it super easy to paint on the go!)Meet your Me - your guide and sketchbook friend! Ulrike Mieke Hi there! My name is Ulrike Mieke, everyone calls me Mieke - I’m a freelance Illustrator from South Africa currently living in Ovingdean, Brighton with my husband. I love filling up sketchbooks drawing people and places, capturing moments!

London&#39;s back garden? No, it&#39;s the unique Brighton!
It&#39;s definitely worth it! Especially for those who want to experience the alternative British style, escape from the city or love seaside art.
1. Highlights
1. Seven Sisters White Cliffs: Hiking in the national park, the cliff coastline is magnificent and picturesque, and the photo-taking rate is off the charts!
2. Rebellious Soul Brighton Palace: A luxurious royal palace with a mix of oriental styles, subverting your imagination of British palaces.
3. Creative Heart North Laine: The maze-like alleys are full of antique shops, designer buyers&#39; shops, and specialty cafes, a paradise for bargain hunters.
4. Free beach atmosphere: pebble beaches, colorful huts, pier playgrounds, and sea breezes are all about relaxation and vitality.
5. 1 hour direct from London, unlock the most &quot;unorthodox&quot; and charming seaside city in Britain!
6. Two highly recommended and worthwhile restaurants: Japan: O&#39;Shio! Seafood: The Salt Room

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
