A word from Alice - studio stories from Alice Draws the Line

In late April a friend and I packed our sketchbooks and headed to The Lake District. It was almost a Potter pilgrimage in fact. 

We are both fans of Beatrix Potter / Mrs Heelis’ work and had spoken about how fun it would be to go to The Lakes and to specifically go and sketch the landscape she loved, was inspired by, lived in, and owned - and any other related places of interest linked to BP as I’ll affectionately refer to her. 

For maximum magic, we stayed within walking distance from Hill Top - the first farmhouse she bought, in Near Sawrey.
