Enjoy a windy walk with Clare Savory along the northern path of Torside Reservoir; taking time to notice the colours, the patterns, shapes and lines through an artists’ lens.

Local painter Liz Armstrong from Glossop Art Society offers tips to get started sketching when out on your walks. Plus, they share the story behind the idea of open air painting, also known by the Italians as ‘pro loco’ (of and on location).

This pilot project was supported by Glossop Creates as part of their Pairings programme, matched with Matt Ross at the Peak District National Park’s Longdendale Environmental Centre in Tintwistle.
