URBAN SKETCHING CLASS

Every Saturday 12-1:30 PM

Urban sketching is a creative, on-location drawing activity that allows you to capture the energy and beauty of everyday city life. By sketching bustling streets, serene parks, and Vancouver's iconic landmarks, you can develop your drawing skills and immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythm of the city. It's easy, I'll teach you how to feel comfortable drawing in public spaces!

Urban Sketching Classes in Vancouver: Key Benefits 


Sign up for our urban sketching classes in Vancouver today and start capturing the beauty of the city one sketch at a time!

By combining the energy of on-location sketching with professional guidance, our urban sketching classes offer a rewarding way to improve your artistic skills while exploring Vancouver. Whether you’re interested in architecture, nature, or people, urban sketching can help you develop your personal style and document your experiences in a fun and meaningful way.
Every class we learn a new topic. Take a course of 6 classes to have consistent progress. To cover all the necessary topics for Urban Sketching you need about 6-10 months.

Explaining how I teach:

Your growth is my priority as your success is my case as an Art Educator.

So whether your goal is "drawing for myself" or "becoming better in my industry" I'm interested in growing students to a high level possible. The longer you are taking my course, better I know your skills and goals, giving me more field to mentor your artistic development - something I am doing on the one-on-one mentorship sessions. I’ll also keep your goals in mind when preparing tasks for the group, ensuring they align with your progress.  

If you're serious about growing quickly and effectively, I recommend not missing classes, even if the themes overlap with what you already learned. Often the real goals are hidden under all the random information you got from different sources during your life. But you can't trick art expression! As I get to know my student's goals and skills better, I provide tailored recommendations for the areas where they are struggling (both in art and mentoring). I’ll point out the repetitive mistakes that are stopping your artistic development, the topics you need to work on, and when it's the time.

Examples: There are no two cases that are the same! Some of the students need speed up or creative expanding exercises, others need to train proportions or specific theoretical knowledge, and the third ones are ready to develop their style.
