These are relaxed and friendly days of urban or landscape sketching, suitable for all levels. They are small-group workshops which I run solo, and they’re all about drawing from life, building confidence, and enjoying the process—always outdoors (or in a cosy café if the weather turns). We keep it simple, focused, and fun.
