This workshop delves into the essential elements of urban sketching and provides methods for properly depicting urban scenery on paper. All presentations will cater to beginner and intermediate levels, fostering an enjoyable drawing and painting experience.

We will explore various techniques to initiate a sketch, including identifying shapes, estimating object proportions, and achieving credible perspectives of buildings without relying on rulers. Throughout the workshop sessions, we will touch upon compositional principles and the editing of scenery, which will complement each of the topics above. To bring your drawings to life, we will examine techniques for applying tonal values and effectively using colour.
