URBAN SKETCHING CLASS

Urban sketching is an on-location drawing class in Downtown Vancouver where the professional artist and architect teaches you to capture the vibe of the city life. I'll guide you through the most beautiful local architecture, show some hidden gems in the city, and under my guidance, you'll draw in the crowd near Steam Clocks as well as bustling streets, serene parks, Vancouver's iconic landmarks. I teach you the techniques and drawing skills that allow you to fill the whole sketchbook with nice compositions and effect techniques. It's easy, I'll teach you how to feel comfortable drawing in public spaces!

After this course you will:

• know the basic techniques and drawing skills necessary to capture the vibe of the city life
