Fearless Urban Sketching Workshop

In this 4-session workshop, we will take the fear out of Urban Sketching by learning the basics in a small group (maximum 4 students). I know the fears that many of us have when starting to sketch in public. I understand fully the fear of not knowing where to start a sketch and feeling overwhelmed by the subjects in front of you. I also know only too well that feeling of "I'm not a good artist; I can't do this. This is going to be bad!"

I've been there; I've done that. But there is another way...

• observe
• look for major shapes and edges
