1.5 hours Class size 6 to 50 guests       £12 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Learn basic sketching techniques through simple observational sketching of real fruits and veggies. Explore and gain confidence in using a pen and watercolour to create quick sketches. This is a great class for both absolute beginners and more experienced artists. You do not need any previous experience of sketching or painting.
What will you Learn:
  • Explore the concept of observational drawing.
  • Observe the fruits and veggies and understand their form. It is a great idea to find real objects to sketch from.
  • Learn how to translate onto paper, the 3D forms, shadows, texture and depth you see while observing.
  • Learn different watercolour techniques and use a repetitive process to gain confidence. Combine watercolour and pen to create very simple, dynamic sketches. The technique of using watercolour and pen is a great way to learn watercolour and gain confidence.
You don't need to have any previous experience of sketching.
Perfection is not necessary; Use a pen to create bold lines across paper, without the fear of going wrong. As we are not using a pencil or an eraser, this will let us explore different ways to sketch and to make marks without the need for it being perfect.

I am Suzanne Abraham, an artist and art tutor passionate about urban sketching and watercolour. Drawing has been a daily activity for me ever since I could hold a pencil. My love for art led me to pursue both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Fine Art. The concepts and techniques I have learned have given me the confidence to sustain my daily art practice. Inspiring others to experience the joy of drawing and painting has always been at the heart of my creative journey. I believe I can effectively share my knowledge and experience in sketching, watercolour, and the importance of maintaining a consistent creative practice routine.
Since 2019, I have been tutoring adults in watercolour and sketching through online and in-person workshops and classes. I have conducted workshops at a National Trust venue and delivered watercolour and urban sketching demonstrations for several art groups in and around London. Additionally, I run weekly art classes for children aged 8 to 16 in the North Kent area.
