Sketching Workshops
Learn how to quickly capture the world around you with ink and watercolour. Sketching outdoors in various locations plus get started with Sketch Journalling.
Outdoor Sketching
Let me guide you around my favourite sketching spots picking out details in architecture and nature that help share the techniques I have picked up over a decade of sketching around Edinburgh.
Each class will touch on perspectives, depth and composition as we go from 10 minute exercises to relax the hand to 30 minute vistas whilst enjoying a walk around beautiful and historical locations.
Each 3 hour session is £40 per person or with a bring a friend discount, 2 for £70. All materials are provided on the day.
Perfect for all levels from beginners to those who would like to learn more about my speed-sketching style, or to practice sketching outdoors with ink and watercolour. Children aged 8 and above are welcome although children aged 8-15 must be accompanied by a ticket holding adult. This is a walking and sketching tour so do check the forecast and come dressed for the Scottish weather! I will have an indoor option should the weather be particularly bad.
