The course was great. Right after a short introduction, it started. We were allowed to use a wide variety of materials and received support and feedback at any time. A great experience, I would take another course with Karen at any time.

It was a wonderful afternoon with Karen, she introduced us to urban sketching professionally, showed us various techniques and gave us lots of good tips. She also talked about the surrounding area (Kreuzberg), so the afternoon was completely unforgettable.

The course was a lot of fun! It was well-structured but also not restrictive. Needs were addressed individually. The scenery was ideal for urban sketching. All materials were available and we were able to try things out in a very pleasant, supported atmosphere. Great!

Well done for beginners and slightly advanced users. Material is provided, the chosen environment offers an infinite number of motifs and there are alternatives in case of bad weather. It was fun - thank you very much!

Karen really picked me up in this course: starting with a very loud critic in my head, I ended the 4 hours, which flew by, with a lot of joy and pleasure in drawing and painting. Thanks ☀️❤️

The course instructor gave us a good introduction to the topic and gave us personal advice. An exercise on the basics of perspective drawing was also very helpful. I found it particularly good that as a beginner, you didn't have to bring any materials, but could try them out on site (paper, fineliner, paints).
