About this class
Urban sketching means drawing your own environment in a relaxed and sketchy way. Both urban motifs and the place you are currently in — be it your kitchen or a café — can serve as inspiration. Everyday scenes are captured on paper using various materials, including fineliners, pencils, watercolors, markers or colored pencils.
In this urban sketching course in Bad Ems, we address the following questions:
How do I start my drawing? What is the best way to get my design onto the paper? How do I correctly implement the perspective? How can I sketch faster? How do I draw buildings, people, or trees?
You will also get a comprehensive insight into the various materials and the creative options they offer.
