Sketching Everywhere

Capture the moments of your day whilst enjoying the process. Live your life and sketch it at the same time.

Or perhaps you will keep your sketches just for yourself, this is your life, sketching purely for the joy of it. No exhibition, no need to show anyone. Do what feels comfortable. A journal of your life, to perhaps pass on one day. Fill your travel journal with memories. Truly immerse yourself and connect with your environment. Slow down and make sketching part of your life now. You’ll fully explore and capture the town and environment. Discover the pleasure of sketching – whether for a personal or travel journal, or to join the growing online movement of urban sketching.

More about the course

All adults and teenagers, regardless of art experience, are welcome as well as experienced students who want to loosen up and achieve more joy with their techniques. In this course, you’ll learn how to carry your sketch kit everywhere you go and capture the essence of what is before you. Each day you’ll learn a new skill and complete a sketch in the classroom. Then go out on location and put your skills into action.

Course Structure

Each day we will have two three hour lessons. First, I will teach you a new skill, and we will complete a sketch together. Then we will go out on location and put our new skills into action. We will visit the park, the river, the town, the coffee shops, anywhere our feet will take us! Wear your comfortable shoes, and bring only your basic art kit (recommendations below).

This is when we truly start 'Sketching Everywhere'. Its time to fully explore and capture the town and environment. What a fun week we will have!

By the end of the week, your sketchbook will be full, and you will have memories to treasure for years to come.
