what we have been up to

Mersea Art Collective gathered for a relaxed morning of sketching our beautiful island. Capturing the quiet beauty of familiar places. Local artists worked side by side, sharing ideas laughter and the simple joy of being together and creating outdoors. Many of these sketches will evolve into finished pieces for our Winter Exhibition. Keep an eye on the Mersea Art Collective website, Instagram and Facebook for upcoming events.
