This workshop focuses on the essential fundamentals of urban sketching. The emphasis is on developing strong foundational skills and practical sketching techniques that can be applied to sketching any subject matter.

Participants may use any medium and substrate of their choice such as, but not limited to; graphite pencil, ball point pen, fountain pen, colored pencil, chalk (Conté pencil or stick), watercolor/acrylic/gouache/oil paint.
